AS far as I know, but that my be wrong:
The seperation came first,
then came the war,
and while the war seemd to get expensive and would last longer than
the north expected, Lincoln finaly mobilized the masses because of
"slavery".

Nope. I did not read something about that.
Specific events in history are normaly tought/examined by the pupils for
3 to 6 month, so also the civil/seperation war in the US.

We considered everything which we thought could have an influence.

I'm shure that history is mainly determined by economics.
Even if the economics behind it are often not obvious.
Further I'm shure that the victory writes the history.

W II was started from the german side merly because of economic reasons.
Fachism was only needed to GUIDE the people.
