I’ve heard a number of people in Tennessee say the Civil War wasn’t about slavery.

Properly, it was called,"The War of Northern Aggression!"

Strictly speaking, it was about the EXPANSION of slavery into Western territories. It seems likely that the existence of slavery in states where it had been traditional would not have been challenged had the slave states not insisted on its expansion.

More properly it was called, "The War of Southern Rebellion".
