The war was over the South acting like a bunch of little kids and wanting to destroy democracy. Slavery was a factor, but not the cause.

1.) Economic disparity between the north and south
2.) Differences in economic goals
3.) Slavery vs Abolition
4.) Federal rights vs States Rights

You know, the one that bared the Federal government from forcing a state to make slavery illegal. Yes, Lincoln really did try to get that amendment passed, but it failed because "Oh my" the southern states seceded. Why would the southern states secede over slavery if an amendment protecting slavery was being passed? It had more to do with "Let us govern ourselves you tyrant" than anything else.
When Confederate POW's were asked by Union soldiers why they were fighting, their reply was "Because you were here."

We Southerners are NOT cowards!!!
