Wow thanks, I actually had it wrong. Neat.

yes slightly bothers me a tiny tiny bit that people today will spin the civil war as a war to end slavery when it only became that mid-war & to win the war. lincoln is still a hero tho

It started over the high amount of abolitionist movements in the north and Lincoln being an abolitionist sympathizer 

The south saw it as a way to choke them of their source of income and to have impunity to do so. It goes back to the creation of the constitution and the 3/5th compromise. So yes, it was about states rights to determine if they choose to be a free state or a slave state, which was to have the right to keep and use a tool which was a major part of their economy making it a war about slavery. The emancipation proclamation was a way to drive the point home.
