I don't know if it was all about slavery. But read some of the secession statements. A lot of it was about slaveryTequilla said:Nobody here is condoning slavery ... and anybody that thinks that the Civil War was all about slavery likely hasn't studied enough history
That time period is a very important part of our history ... there are definitely some parallels of then versus now in terms of how people feel they are being represented by Washington
The secession was 100% about slavery. But the Civil War wasn't 100% about slavery. From the northern perspective it was more about preserving the union than ending slavery. From the southern perspective it was more about pursuing/protecting their freedom to secede than protecting slavery.
Obviously there's a ton of overlap in those things.
Southerners are technically correct when they say the war wasn't just about slavery. But they're full of shit if they say the confederacy wasn't about slavery. -

'Lincoln didn’t see the Civil War as a struggle to free the nation’s 4 million slaves from bondage. Emancipation, when it came, would have to be gradual, and the important thing to do was to prevent the Southern rebellion from severing the Union permanently in two. But as the Civil War entered its second summer in 1862, thousands of slaves had fled Southern plantations to Union lines, and the federal government didn’t have a clear policy on how to deal with them. Emancipation, Lincoln saw, would further undermine the Confederacy while providing the Union with a new source of manpower to crush the rebellion." -
For the South there was a lot of protecting State's rights and the fact that Washington was tied to advancing the industrial North versus the far more agricultural South ...
Free versus Slave was an issue but only to effect that it was the North dictating to the South how they should handle their business ...
I'm far from advocating slavery (in fact to the contrary) but with the way farms, etc were in those times (heavy manual labor), that's what it was.
Slavery goes back way back into history and was generally what happened to a people when conquered by others in war ...
It's easy to go back and retro QB ... but times were far different than ... we've advanced significantly in the 150 years since then ... just like we will 150 years from now -
