In my opinion it was a struggle for influence on the new states joining the USA in the wild west. It was not merely about slaving, but making all new states slave-free was an open declaration of northern supremacy. That was something the southern states could not tolerate.
And because ot that it was a war for human rights. Making the southern states slave-free, that's fighting for freedom.

You're right, the American history is pretty young compared to our european. So their history is shorter then many other.

Last thing to note: if you don't share my opinion on the afore mentioned points let's have an argument about it. I guess people wouldn't want us to discuss here, but we could open an english 'anglo-historic thread'.
Guess I'm dreaming again...
Hm, i guess my english-skills aren't good enough to argue at a high level. T_T
