I'm not an American, so I'll freely admit limited knowledge of the Civil War, but I find it hard to believe the North would go to this war because they cared that much about the slaves...

If you are interested in learning more about the Civil War, then the Ken Burns series on this is excellent, it is on PBS American, it is quite a long series, and doesn't flinch from the barbarity and brutality that took place,
