Because the South SAID it was about slavery...in each and every one of their Articles of Secession. Can you be any stupider?[
Slavery is one of the main reasons the war was fought, but, was far from the only reason.
In your list of the five reasons for the civil war, you left out tariffs. As for slavery, it was a small part of what the war was about. How could it be otherwise when
1. four northern states had legal slavery throughout the war
2. a number of northern generals, including Grant, were slave owners during the war
3. Andrew Johnson was a slave owner during the war.
Stupider isn't a word, may want to keep that in mind when insulting the intelligence of others.
