The North South launched the Civil War because it was judged to be in its economic best interest to do so. Everything else is mythmaking.

...in the interest of accuracy.

You are partially correct. The South seceded legally because it was in their economic best interest to do so. The North invaded to prevent the secession because it was in their best economic interests to do so. Those are the historic facts which have been camouflaged by generations of LEFTIST revisionist historians.

The immorality of slavery is a separate issue which you and I probably agree on.
