what I was saying in my post is that for the mostly poor and unsophisticated soldiers
in the ranks, I believe that they thought they were fighting about slavery. Is that true?

I did understand that to be what you were saying. What I was saying is that I don't think that was particularly true, at least at the beginning of the war. But I am not a historian. I will gladly defer to a historian who has a good knowledge of the Civil War.
