To say the civil war was not over slavery is tired nonsense. Though to reduce it to that is flawed. More important in that text is that more whites fought on the side of the Union than the Confederacy. 'White people lost' a war to maintain slavery is a weird use of wording given the context.

The north and south didn't really get along to begin with. Though slavery was a catalyst, a civil war would have happened down the line eventually.
