the FACT is the primary issue of the war was the economic impact of getting rid of slavery.


The actual fact is that if the new states coming into the union were allowed to choose for themselves whether they were free or slave states, the balance of power in the house and senate would have no longer been tilted to the northern states, and that was unacceptable.

The south and its slavery held down the common southern white man, as well. At least that is what I gathered.
