How Much of the Civil War was About Slavery?

[Syriusly]

The new CSA Constitution itself did not give the CSA states the right to secede but did the CSA Constitution preamble?

Don't know why that would matter; it has nothing to do with Lincoln's deliberately starting the war.

He didn't deliberately start the war. He tried all sorts of legislative actions to avoid war, including a proposed Constitutional amendment that would have preserved slavery.

Corwin Amendment - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Black people weren't 'freed' by the Civil War in any real sense that mattered.?

Really?

Really?

Talk about not reading history books.

The freedom of black slaves was not perfect- there were abuses- BUT- they were freed in a very real sense that mattered- in that they no longer lived in fear of being sold away from their family and friends.

They no longer had to fear that their sons and daughters would be sold away from them. That their wives would be sold away from their family.

Tell us all how you think that didn't really matter.

Still waiting for your response on how you thought being freed from slavery didn't really matter to the slaves.

The South wanted to keep slavery ( The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States ) and Lincoln wanted to keep the South.
