If you think about it, in the 1870s civil war the US government lost.
The US government was PRO slavery. The Constitution was PRO slavery. The Supreme Court was PRO slavery.
The side supporting the government lost. The ones fighting against the government won, and got to write history to make it sound better.
Lincoln was Anti Slavery, but he was elected popularly by third party because the established parties were pro slavery. He did it twice, too, because his first third-party ticket was already against him by the second election.
The government hates outsiders, and the government always loses wars against people. If won't make the same mistake again, it will listen to instead of fighting Americans.
Well, part of it was slavery. But yeah, saying the war was fought over slavery as if that were the only issue is an inaccurate and grossly over simplified view of the war.

Lincoln wasn't anti-slavery though he just used that to help support the war. Believe it or not the war had very little to do with slavery.
