Ever heard of the Kansas/Missouri border war? That's where the civil war actually started. The South was not satisfied with keeping slavery where it already existed. They wanted to expand the franchise but were prevented from doing so. Had the confederacy been satisfied with the status quo there would have never been a civil war. They had dreams of an empire to rival the United States. They had to be slapped back to reality.Apparently you don’t Abe offered to ensconce slavery into the Constitution in his first inaugural. He also said if you refuse to pay the tariff we will invade and murder you, which he did.
The war was never about slavery for Abe. It was about money and control.
