The SOUTH wanted slavery and LINCOLN was against slavery (he was for the NORTH). The CIVIL WAR actually started because of high tariffs... Most people mistake that matter for slavery!
The Civil War, depsite what most people believe, was not started over slavery. It was actually started over the election of the the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

In the end the Civil War basically ended slavery, or abolished it.
