no Lincoln wanted to override the states rights to chose if they wanted slavery. Thats the root cause, no body in the north was trying to abolish slavery by an amendment to the constitution at the time. Im not sure what they teach you in schools these days. and slaves were already represented in the census count of those yrs. Ever hear of the 3/5ths compromise? Seriously nobody studies history these days. Don't make you come back down there? lol im in New york so you better be watching your six.

I said in the above post: even having the gall to want slaves to be represented in Congress, so yes I know about the 3/5 compromise and you can stop thinking your the only person who knows history.

The North and South were consistently fighting over the issue of slavery.  The North's ultimate goal was to abolish slavery, first in its states, then in its territories (legal fighting on slavery in Missouri, Kansas, acquried Mexican territories, and so forth) and finally in the South.

funny because the constitution has the 3/5th comprimise and it had nothing to do with the time period of the Civil war. So your history needs some checking again. And yes they fought over slavery, big deal they decided that new states could determine if the would allow slavery or not. Lincoln campaign on changing that. This is where the problem started.
