Yes, but folks don't want to talk about that, because that screws with the line of thinking that the war was 'all' about slavery, not tariffs and states freedoms to own that which they produce independent of a centralized system of government. They fail to take into account what the black confederate soldier may have been thinking to offer up his death in a fight over such freedom. (there are letters and diaries written by the black confederate soldier, that are at the libraries, displayed for all to read if one is of a mind to do so and understand the true nature of life then)
The war as with most wars was over the establishment of a system of government. People though label these wars as religious wars with religious reasons, or, civil wars with human rights reasons. While both these reasons (may also apply) have a sense of nobility to them, the foundation for the wars, is the establishment of a system of government. The government is then built, not on love of humanity, but from death and destruction ... of all those who participate and even by those who don't, who are then deemed, (labeled) collateral damage.
Over 3000 years of wars and death and all people have learned from it, is how to do it better, more gruesome, more horrifying than before.

Probably because the other thing people fail to discuss is that the whites were the first to be bought and sold into slavery by pirates ... selective discussions.
You are wrong for the most part, there was some slavery in the north, but not enough to amount to anything significant.
That's like saying she's a little pregnant. Either she is or she isn't.
1 million slaves in the South or 1000 slaves in the North is still slavery.
