The civil war was about a power struggle between ruling wealthy factions that used poor Americans as cannon fodder. These factions pitted brother against brother and destroyed countless families.
Slavery was the topic, but the reality was a dramatic failure to govern and how the American people are nothing more than pawns to the ruling class.
What the fuck does that have to do with rich people using propaganda to pit Americans against each other. The civil war was a great example of the American people getting owned by the rich as always.
Instead of the wealthy sorting it out they used Americans as pawns in a senseless war. It was a garbage war that produced garbage results.
We still treat blacks like second class citizens to this day.
Well both founding documents for the confederacy (the provisional and constitution of confederate states) name slavery as being a right and is listed at the forefront of the documents, not to mention of the 4 official declarations of succession from (SC MS TX GA) all mention slavery in the first words, the states who did ordinances of succession instead, all also mention slavery with in the first paragraphs. It is in their own words. The civil war was about slavery.

Saying the civil war was only about slavery is a bunch of bullshit. Primary reason, sure.

Not arguing that at all. Slavery was the primary reason, but much more was going on.
