The civil war was much less about slavery and much more about the Southern states RIGHT to secede from the Union.
And the Union decided that even though secession was legal and within the rights of those states, they would wage war to prevent it.
Why?
Cash crops like tobacco and cotton of course.

Like with many wars, the war which is basically taught as nice whites and saved blacks vs bad whites and slaves, was actually about money and power.
Not about people.
Oh an Lincoln wasn't exactly a savior of the black peoples either. He tried to get many of them to leave. Some to other colonization efforts in the Caribbean and Liberia.

Okay.  Say you're right, and it was about the Southern states' right to secede.  
Why were they seceding?

They wanted to maintain their economic competitiveness by preserving their system of free labor, duh. The Civil War was 100% about states' rights. The right of states to sanction slavery.
