The south left because they thought that the federal government was gaining too much power. "If they can take away slaves(property) what else can they do". They also believed that they weren't fairly represented in the federal government(the north had all the cities). The north fought not because it hated slavery, but because Lincoln believed that America would not be able to continue as successful and thriving nation if the south left. If you look at the propaganda, fighting slavery was an afterthought. The idea of fighting slavery(evil) was a great way to inspire troops and demoralize the south.
P.S. Slavery in and of itself is not evil. Racial slavery and mistreatment of slaves(or any people) is. If you think about it Biblicly, slavery is never a sin. In biblical times, slavery was not thought of as a bad thing, but as a way to pay off debt.
Remember, BLM and ANTIFA will destroy those monuments and statues too. We have to stop them!
The civil war was never about slavery.
WHAT?
