    It was definitely about power. But that also swings both ways. If the federal government allowed the South to go away peacefully, it would lose an immense amount of power, geographically, politically, and economically. The North's motivations for war laid in those reasons, as well as the more intangible "preservation of the Union," and not for the reason of abolition.

    I don't think anyone on this sight thinks Abe started the war to end slavery. I'm not sure why that matters. We didn't fight WWII to stop the holocaust either.

    Its okay Matt, my great uncle was also a life long confirmed bachelor who also had a much younger cuban boy who lived with him most of his life.  

    Yeah! How dare the media not know that my immigrant-hating, white GOP brother secretly adopted a Cuban man!
