Just like any other war, it was fought for the same old reason: Money. In this case, the use of slavery was part of the money. Yet, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emacipation Proclamation, it did NOT free any slaves in non-Confederate states. And don't get me started on how the Maryland Legistlature wasn't permitted to hold a vote on joining the CSA. Lincoln himself was fond of the "n" word.
