The Northern interests were control of and profit from Westward expansion, to include rail, resources, and assets.

Remember what came just AFTER 1865.

Monopolies.

It's pretty cynical to assert that the entire Federal government was motivated to invade the South at huge cost in blood and treasure to protect the interests of Northern Oligarchs expanding into the West.

It implies that the Government of 1860 was for sale. I'd rather not believe that, though the evidence for our Modern government being for sale is getting harder and harder to shake every year.
