According to the original historical documents researched in Charles Adams’s book, When in the Course of Human Events: Arguing the Case for Southern Secession, it shows in careful detail that slavery did not cause this terrible war.

Rather, the Southern states formed the Confederacy to avoid paying the mounting tariffs that benefitted northern industry and paid for the construction and operations of federal government facilities and other “public works,” of which most were located in Northern states.

"With secession, trade and tariff revenues were diverted to the South. This
led the “money interests” in the northeast to force Lincoln to start a war with
the Confederacy in much the same way Roosevelt dragged America into World War II.
We now know conclusively that Roosevelt knew the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor,
and that he deliberately incited and provoked them with acts of war (Stinnett 1999).
Adams builds a sound factual case that finds Lincoln deliberately starting war with
the Confederate states in a similar manner."

A little self-motivated exploration could set you right.
