American Civil War was 100% about states rights to continue slavery. The Missouri Compromise was being threatened to be tossed out the window and that was the jumping block.

It most assuredly was about slavery and only slavery. The slave-states really did resent the Northerners for their liberalism and holier-than-thou attitudes towards slavery which was a contributing factor.

Any time someone says the American Civil War wasn't about slavery, they are fucking morons. "iT WaS abOuT stAtE rIghTs!" State rights about what you fucking retard? About what?

But what is the theory behind Woodrow Wilson and WWI?

You're wrong. States Rights and Slavery were battles in the war, but not the larger war.

Correct. This is LITERALLY from Lincoln's first inaugural address:

I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."

You're wrong.

The reasons for the war are VERY well documented with literally tons (a measure of weight) of data to sift through. This happened modern enough that we have very clear first hand evidence for anything. Including news paper clippings, letters, decrees, meeting minutes from congress, etc.

Edit - Removed the insults. You were respectful so I will do the same. My apologies if you saw the first edit.

And you will notice that the South wanted to secede LONG before anyone said slavery.

Because an outside party was conducting economic warfare on us. The South was too stupid to see it and you're too stupid to see it, but it's very obvious.

The purpose of the federal government is to preserve the Union. Lincoln got stuck in a situation where he had to preserve the Union by violating states rights because they were too fucking stupid to see they were at war with a third party.

You’ve overlooked the tariffs imposed by Lincoln on the southern states that were greater than 50%. Those tariffs were crippling the economies of the south. Secession at the time was considered the last protection against an overreaching government. Remember, the secession from England was just a generation before and there were other secession attempts prior to South Carolina.

Tariffs were at 90% at a certain point

The kikes funded both sides of the Civil War. Any States formed after the first thirteen States outlawed slavery.

Slavery was the moral high ground the north chose to fight upon

It was a pretense.
