Well, the South certainly didn’t go to war to free the slaves. Neither did the North. They went to war to get back that pile of money sitting on New York.

They went to war to get back that pile of money sitting on New York." The Union never lost it's "pile of money" in New York or anywhere else.
Nor would it have gone to war over that possibility, absent a Confederate assault on Union troops in Union Fort Sumter.
