This is mostly true I think... the war wasn't about morality... it was about power.

To add on your point(that I bolded)

 

The first country to abolish slavery was the UK. Guess who supported the southern states in the civil war?

Wow, the UK was the first country to abolish slavery? Are you sure about that?

Also, no one supported the southern states in the Civil War. I guess you could say that the U.K. showed favoritism to them, but that was mainly because of the cotton trade (which they needed for their textile industry). Or maybe that was the point you were trying to make. I can't tell.
