In a manner of speaking historians have placed slavery and the end of slavery, into a larger and more important reason for the US Civil War. When they have, they often times fail to place it in its proper prospective. They tend to give Northerns a more "anti-slavery" view than what actually happened. With that said, perhaps the largest distortion is present with the Emancipation Proclamation. They fail to note the role of it as a war measure, and tend to understate the slavery that was present in the border states.
