people seem to have the belief today that the north fought the war out of some noble belief that slaves should be free. Few in the north gave two shits about the slaves themselves.
I agree with this.
Equally irking are the scores of folks (usually southerners) who jump through so many mental hoops to try to convince folks that slavery really had nothing to do with the war at all.
Two preposterous positions--this is the problem when folks try to oversimplify a conflict in order to fit their particular narratives, tbh.

I agree with this as well. Slavery definitely was one of the several reasons the war took place. If it wouldn't have started in 1861, the country would have not tolerated slavery much longer anyways.
