The point would seem to be whether the Civil War was "about" nothing other than 
slavery.  I suspect everyone involved had their own agenda concerning what it was 
"about," with slavery being a fairly prominent consideration in many if not most 
cases.

In the same vein, there are two other unacknowledged components of the Iraq 
invasion:  a psychological theory about restoring America's symbolic testicles after 
Vietnam & the partial victory in Gulf I, & the influence of the Israel lobby -- which 
of course cannot be discussed without loud shrieks of "anti-Semitism" being heard.
