I know you were being sarcastic, as was I. I do understand that a lot of people WANT the Civil War to have been fought because of Slavery.
Yes, Slavery was related, but the idea that the union fought the secessionist southern states because of Slavery is a modern idea.
Lincoln freed the slaves for morale more than anything else.

We're not so far apart. Think about it.
