    The civil war absolutely begin over slavery. What do you think started it if not for slavery? The south succeeded over slavery issues. The south fired on Fort Sumter because they succeeded. It all stemmed from the political fight over slavery.

      Did you read my comment at all? The Civil War started over slavery 100%, but the Union didn’t go to war to abolish slavery, they wanted to preserve the Union
