An interesting article on the causes of the Civil War. Lincoln personally was against slavery but his primary motivation was to preserve the Union. Freeing slaves in the South would have expropriated the largest single asset of wealthy Southerners. The asset value of the slaves exceeded the asset value of every other asset class in the country.
