The Civil War was about slavery. The state's rights issue was a cover for slavery, as was generally acknowledged at the time--and it's a self-serving horseshit argument in any case. The North was right, the South wrong.
You're pretty much right about the rest of them.

(Two matters; I said I'd bow out of this thread, but this is a matter of U.S. history here. And noting my Ph.D. is a transparent pulling of academic rank in this instance.)
