The [[Civil War]] was not just a war between North and [[The South]], it was a war between [[Democrat]] and [[Republican]].
The [[Civil War]] was not just a war between North and [[The South]], it was a war between [[Democrat]] and [[Republican]] at the time of the spoils system, when the winning party took over all the government jobs.
The Republican party was founded in 1854 by single-issue voters called [[Abolitionist]]s. Barely a dozen years later, after the 1863 [[Emancipation Proclamation]], it had only two things to fight for: full [[civil rights]] for [[Blacks]] and the spoils of victory, that is, government jobs for party members.
