Sort of insane the reason for the civil war is debated. Sure, it was a confluence of factors but it's pretty obvious slavery was #1 by far
An oft-repeated Reddit comment goes something like this:
When you know a little about the civil war, you think it's about slavery.
When you know a little more about the civil war, you realize there were other factors.
When you know a lot about the civil war, you realize it was all about slavery.
