Was Civil War over slavery or secession?
I assume you mean the American Civil War. At the beginning, it was purely over secession. Later Lincoln turned it into a war against slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation, partly to make his own demoralised people feel that they were fighting a crusade, but more urgently to keep Britain and France from helping the Confederates (because it would make them look pro-slavery).
How did Lincoln's assassination influence people or events?
