As one Confederate Cabinet member said after hearing this for the 10,000th time, "If we're not fighting this war for *******, I'd like to know what the hell we are fighting for".

I used to buy into this, and it wasn't 100% because of slavery.
But with more studying and learning, I have concluded that the war was MOSTLY about slavery.

And don't come in with "state rights", because the major states rights issue was slavery
