Many people have different views on the cause of the civil war but I honestly think the big deal was to keep slavery and state rights vs. getting the south to join The Union, not to end slavery at all. The south’s fight in the civil war was not to end slavery but to defend it. The south wanted to keep slaves so that they could keep cotton and tobacco trades with Europe.
