Kind of WAR.

It was a war between states.
In the background, it was a fight between two types of economies, an industrial- (North) and agrarian other one slave holder (South), which were totally different.


The Southerners declared that they were not fighting only for the slavery. After everything, the majority of the confederate soldiers were too poor to possess slaves.

The South was commited to a war of independence that was supporting the relations between the North and the South.
