Also, quite telling that this was your response to me saying that so much adulation for a losing/treasonous cause in MO.

I think ultimately it was about states rights and maintaining the Union.
State's rights....to own other human beings as commercial assets and as the backbone for said commerce. Anytime someone says "state's rights" and leaves it right there, that's purposefully revisionist history they're using.

It was states rights from a Southern perspective. And yes one of those rights was slavery. Which still exists by the way. There is no revision needed.
From a Northern perspective it was about maintaining the union. Abe's comments make that clear. So one could argue that it wasn't about slavery.
