The reason that the War Against Southern Independence wasn't about slavery is that neither side in the conflict had any interest in ending it.
As I pointed out to you, but you apparently either can't grasp it or don't believe it, the Union congress passed a Constitutional Amendment in the Spring of 1861 that would have made slavery permanent and removed that legality from the amendment process.
Further, slavery lasted longer in the Union states than in the conquered Confederate States. What is it about that fact that you don't understand?
The southern states withdrew from the Constitutional compact of states lawfully. That's really all you need to know about the Confederate States of America.
Abraham Lincoln was the worst butcher ever to serve as a US president, in any century.
