The American Civil War wasn't even a civil war.
A Civil War is when two factions fight over the control of a country.
The South didn't want to control the country. It just wanted to be left alone.
,...and for the most part, it still does. The CORRECT term for the war is either War Between the States, or the War of Northern Aggression. When idiots collide.

I would say that the vast majority fought because someone told them to do so. Exactly true. And in the end they died for nothing.

To the victor goes the spoils.
Is it okay to call them that?

Seems like all the trouble is caused by the people the South brought in to pick their cotton.

The outcome of the bloodbath of the Civil War was already pre-determined by evil politicians. I actually came to tears when I learned my family tree history, and I realized that I had potential relatives that never existed, but would have, had my ancestors not been killed in that evil war. I served 2 tours in Afghanistan, and nothing has changed; the dead soldiers I witnessed died for nothing also. Tragic, and heartbreaking

GWB I have a can of those too. Been meaning to try them. Add cheese, a little butter, shrimp and either bacon or sausage with a fried egg on top. It will become your favorite breakfast. Took my wife, born and bred in Bozeman 28 years to give them a try. Now it's her favorite. C'mon Jim, come over to the south side.

A war was inevitable. Just as it is now. Look to the past. There are ample examples of secessionist movements all of the then US of A! And not all in the south!!!! Lots of fine loyal Americans in New England around 1812.
So how did the alleged “ruling class” plantation owners convince the poor, non slave owning, Ulster scot majority all thru the south to take up their cause and fight????
It basically boiled down to one comment by a confederate prisoner when asked;
“Because you are here, sir!"
Not slavery, not states rights, but occupation by a belligerent/ invading army.
Oh btw, I suppose the north had no such economic ruling class.
Sarcasm icon off
(The war made MANY millionaires!!! 😉)
The vast majority of northerners could have cared less about a black slave in Alabama.
But!!!
The northern industrialist had their desires on owning the south for decades! Unlike the untamed west, there was a necessary infrastructure in place already in the south. Slavery was the tool to justify their means. And that Lincoln proclamation sanctified the cause. Internal colonialism thru reconstruction.
Preserve the Union!
Both sides have ample blame to share! No monopoly there.
I will say no more.
