What was the south fighting for?

Civil War wasn't to end slavery Purposes: The South fought to defend slavery. The North's focus was not to end slavery but to preserve the union. The slavery apology debate misses these facts. It is generally accepted that the Civil War was the most important event in American history.

I hope I was able to help. Hope you are all doing well and safe during these times. Have a wonderfully wonderful rest of you day. =)
