There’s this magical thing called sarcasm.

Why was South Carolina so scared of Lincoln that they left the Union before he took power?
A mix between issues with the fugitive slave act, a belief that the north was taking advantage of the south’s economy, issues with states rights (in terms of new states chosing to allow slavery or not), and an irrational fear of change.
Now, why did the north fight the south? Was it to end slavery or was it to preserve the union?
If you believe the north fought to end slavery, why would they continue to allow slavery in the north? Why didn’t the emancipation proclamation affect slaves in the north?

To preserve the union. I've never said otherwise.
Lincoln was elected to free the slaves. That's why So. Carolina left. The North had had enough of southerners coming into their states and dragging people away. Lincoln was the Abolitionists candidate.
