I know what the session proclamations say, but the United States and the Confederate States did not go to war over slavery, at least not at first. Lincoln wanted to prevent the South from leaving, not a hundred percent sure why, he was willing to make the entire US slave owning if necessary, he himself said in his first inaugural speech, he would free none, one or all to preserve These United States. Like I said I am not a revisionist, I don’t apologize for the actions of the South, I wasn’t there. I can say my great great grandfather, a Black freedman in N. Carolina was willing to fight for the Confederacy. I can only assume that he had a good reason. Like I said before this was about Lincoln and his actions only.

Because it’s illegal to seceed from the US. And the South seceded over slaves. Whether Lincoln said it or not
