The war was because of sucession, sucession was because of slavery. there really shouldnt be any debate to this

Secession was due to 19% of the Souths citizens being levied 3 times their proportionate share of Federal expenditures. It just so happens that the vast majority of those in attendance at secession conventions happened to be part of the 19%. Rich man starts a war, the poor man fights it. The Union needed fresh soul's to "preserve the Union "so slavery became "the" issue of 1863.
