That is a debate that continues to this day. I don't know enough about the subject or really care TBH but it seems a lot of people are vehement that we did not fight over slavery and the history books have been deliberately obfuscated.

General Lee apparently wanted to free the slaves so they could avoid the whole thing. Canada I believe paid the slave owners to release their slaves peacefully.
There is a case to be made for the actual conflict being over state's rights and the slaves being used as an excuse.
I'm not an expert though and only parroting what I heard here.
