The war was not about ending slavery.

The resolution of the issue was simply to peacefully allow states to leave the union, as was their right.

Ending slavery was not on Lincolns "to do" list. I maintain slavery would have ending in few years without the staggering cost in lives and fortune.

Lincoln trampled the constitution for his own political purposes and set the stage for the relentless growth of the federal government.
