The political focus on abolition of slavery as the main reason for the Civil War might be wrong. Abraham Lincoln himself possessed 2 slaves for serving in his household. The question of slavery was more a figleaf to cover the imminent political intention. On Independence Day the Union was set up voluntary. But in the Civil War the Union Government in D.C. set a warning example, what happens to the state, which would like to leave the Union. There will be no division in the future. So the term "United" states does not fit anymore already a long time, the US should be called American Republic or better Empire. The federate farmers were not so well educated. They had no ideas about engineering, which was based in the North. The time of slavery was anyway over, mashines became much cheaper than slaves. So the liberated slaves became slaves again in Chikago, where they had to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for 2 US$ in uncomfortable factories and Apartheid was not abolished till the 60s of the last century.

@d.shaffer8782 yes, i know. But if there were different opinions a split would have been quite adequate. Imagine, if the state of Washington, Idaho or Monatana would aim to be annexed by Canada?

Jonathan Williams but most historians, as Drachinifel, do not tell us your remark.

Jonathan Williams yes, i believe you, but who read those official records? Historians and Journalists are paid by those, who do not want any press release about those politcal impacts. War-propganda ususally discredits the enemy not the own government.

@drmontreal6165 of course, Commodore Perry enforced Japan to open it's borders for trade violently in 1853. This is the reason the navy-cowboys are so beloved on our planet.
