Which side were fighting for slavery the north or the south?
The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.
Did the south win the war?
No, it was in fact the North who won the Civil War because: The South was fighting for the right to own slaves and the north did not agree at all. Sometimes southern slaves tried to escape the south and flee to the North. (at that time all African- Americans were enslaved and could do nothing about it) . Back when slavery occurred, Abraham Lincoln was our President and of course, he also did not agree with slavery. So the South declared war and before long the South lost. Slavery was put to an end. Sadly though, shortly after the war had ended, Abraham and his wife were in a theater, watching a film and Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head and killed by a southerner.
