THe civil war started in 1861. Slavery was not outlawed until after the war, in 1868.
It has less to do with slavery, and more to do with the souther states not liking the federal government taking over there laws (that suited the north much more then the south).
Now if only there was a way to accomplish what they were trying to do, without war. That would be awesome. Time has proven them right.
