absolutely. a few years ago I flat out tried to prove that the civil war was not about slavery. I wanted it to be true. Simple fact is that it flat out was over slavery. Slavery we should have never had as the founding fathers wanted to do away with that shit when declaring independence from those poofs across the lake.
LOL, I am just going to prove this wrong right here with unarguable ease

Martin Robison Delany (May 6, 1812 – January 24, 1885) was an African-American
abolitionist, journalist, physician, and writer, and arguably the first proponent of
black nationalism.
[1] He was one of the first three black people admitted to
Harvard Medical School.
Trained as an assistant and a physician, he treated patients during the
cholera epidemics of 1833 and 1854 in Pittsburgh, when many doctors and residents fled the city. He worked alongside
Frederick Douglass to publish the
North Star. Active in recruiting blacks for the
United States Colored Troops, he was commissioned as a major, the first African-American field grade officer in the
United States Army during the
American Civil War.
After the Civil War, he worked for the
Freedmen's Bureau in the South, settling in South Carolina, where he became politically active. He ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor and was appointed a Trial Judge. Later he switched his party loyalty and worked for the campaign of
Democrat Wade Hampton III, who won the 1876 election for governor.
Slaver apologist. Awesome!
But it is overwhelmingly the case that slavery was the reason for the civil war. But hey, post evidence of those other reasons.
