The Confederacy was all about slavery?
I beg to differ, you praise President Lincoln, when he was a devout racist. Read some of his 1858 debates with Douglas, then tell me what you think of the man.
Research the "Corwin Amendment", 1861. To maintain the Union, both the House and Senate passed the amendment which would have allowed the continuation of slavery in those states that had slavery. If slavery was the defining cause of the war, then they had in their hand what they wanted, the continuation of slavery.
