Some truth to that.And yet Lincoln offered the south slavery forever, as long as they stayed in the union. If it was all about slavery, why did the south refuse his offer and chose to fight?
Because the most zealous of the secessionists didn't believe him, and they carried the day.
However it was the abolitionist zealots in the North, that wanted slavery eliminated and pushed for war.
'abolitionist zealots'- interesting term for people who wanted to end slavery.
Lincoln was not among them- yet the South feared he was- and moved to secede- and started the war.
