Civil war had nothing to do with slavery. It was about preventing the South from upsetting trade conditions that funneled 200 million per year into New York, with Washington DC taking their 64 million per year cut.

The Civil War was about money, but the propaganda about it convinced everyone it was about slavery. No, it was about money.
