    State Right to enslave people. That is the primary cause and what it was being fought over.

      You are right technically that they fought over that. But they fought to get rid of that state right, which they already had. The Confederacy made it a constitutional, federal right.

      The south fought and died to get rid of their own rights for the benefit of the rich.
