So one side was fighting to keep slaves. And one side was fighting to free slaves. But it wasn’t about slaves. Wow

No, one side was trying to leave the union and the other was trying to force them to stay.

It's is like saying Brexit is about Muslims.

It's not, but that's how they got the population fired up.

In <75 years Muslims will be calling for reparations (sharia law) there too.

The secession movement began literally a week after the constitution was ratified. The nullification crisis concerning import taxes placed on South Carolina occurred decades before the fight over slavery which at its core is the fight for the right to secede from the union entirely.

Idc that you downvote me to hell. I still think you’re wrong. Yes they wanted to succeed. But they wanted to succeed mostly for slavery.

Or you could point me to your source of enlightenment?
