Original Note:
The Civil War was not fought over slavery alone. In fact, Lincoln himself stated "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it." A much larger issue was the sovereignty of the states vs powers of the federal government. https://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/causes-of-the-civil-war/ https://ashbrook.org/viewpoint/oped-owens-04-guelzo/ https://www.thoughtco.com/top-causes-of-the-civil-war-104532
