I think the great failing when analyzing this, is to present an image of the North with differing views. White supremacy was the views of nearly all Americans regardless of section. The issue that caused the war was the divide over slavery in the western territories. That was the straw that broke the camel's proverbial back. A common cry of Northerners in opposition to the westward expansion of slavery was "Keep the west white." The modern notion that the Northern states fought a crusade to end slavery is a myth. The destruction of slavery was seen as a means to an ends....destroy slavery and you destroy the Confederacy as slave labor allowed the Confederacy to place nearly 90 percent of its male military age population in its military. There was no great moral outrage over the status of blacks. To think otherwise is true revisionism and demonstrates a failure to understand history.
