Because it was about very rich southerners wanting to keep slaves. Try studying history instead of complaining about it.

You need to study your history and apply a little logic . Only 5 to 6% of southerners owned slaves. Out of the rest of the population who didn't, who in their right senses would have fought and died for a minority's right to own slaves?

They used the same argument that is still effective today for getting the masses to do their dirty work for them. Pushing social issues to hide their real motives.

Yes it was a small percentage that actually owned slaves, but they also held the political power and made sure to use it.

And here we are again. Claiming state's rights when it comes to social issues while the super rich plunder the nation. Try ignoring the simple answers and flow the money. It is a better guide to who is screwing you and why.

If you read the bills of secession passed by the southern states when they seceded, they ALL specify the reason for seceding as fear of the federal government outlawing slavery.
