The American Civil War wasn't fought because of slavery

[quote]But, Khan, why'd the south secede?[/quote] Because of taxes and tariffs which couldn't be overwritten. [quote]Then why'd the south have slavery and the North didn't?[/quote] When the war started, both sides had slavery, which is why slavery wasn't abolished earlier. [quote]But-[/quote] No. I think this easily proves that slavery wasn't a major factor in the Civil War.

    You are right, it was not a war fought because of slavery at the beginning. However, after the emancipation proclaimation it became a fight against or for slavery, depending on the way you view. Abe knew hot to rally the troops and get more support for the war.
