The civil war was not about slavery. It was about the federal government overstepping their bounds.

Again with the equivocations. Overstepping their bounds with what? You can only give a half-argument because once you peel back federalism rhetoric the core issue was still slavery. That the North had more cynical non-humanitarian reasons for wanting to stop it from spreading to Kansas and other new states doesn't change what it was really "about," so please spare us this foofoo semantics shite.

He was a cynical racist, but it's not a zero sum game with this.
