Lincoln himself admitted that 'this war is somehow about slavery.' But he himself was not willing to fight a war for slavery. As president, his aim was to protect the Union-- slavery or not. We cannot logically refer to the Union to discover why the Confederacy fought the war. Both parties had different reasons for fighting it. The North wished to preserve a Union that the South aimed to break. The South aimed to break the Union chiefly (but not only) because of slavery. So then the war was indeed caused, in essence, by slavery - just as steve says.
