A few years ago I went on a Civil War kick and read everything I could download onto my Kindle from both sides of the conflict, from lowly enlisted men up to the generals. Fascinating reading. Never once did I see "We were fighting to keep the darkies enslaved." or anything remotely like that. And "We were fighting to free the slaves." was not that common of a theme either. It mostly came down to "We were fighting because our homeland was invaded by the north." and "We were fighting to preserve the union." Anyway, found this one on Kindle so it's now in the reading schedule. Thanks!
