The American Civil War was NOT about slavery. It was about:
States rights ... to keep slaves
Economics ... based on slave labor
Political division ... about slavery
Territorial expansion ... and the expansion of slavery
Northern infringement ... on the South's ability to keep slaves
Government representation ... to have more Southern senators to defend slavery
Railroads ... so the South could export slave-picked cotton easier
Social differences ... about the morality of slavery
Wait, I'm beginning to notice a pattern here...
