The American Civil War was about far more than just \
to:
The American Civil War was about far more than just \\\"pride and slavery\\\", it was about the structuring of the government, where the south wanted a more limited government. The \\\"slavery\\\" aspect was just motivation for the North to encourage war effort and dehumanize the south and make their efforts seem morally wrong and unjustifiable.

The War of 1812 is also called the \\\"second war for America\\\'s independence\\\" as well. Why? Look at the Battle of Baltimore, where the British were literally trying to invade and re-capture portions of the US. That\\\'s not the only example either, there\\\'s also the Battle of New Orleans and the Battle of Plattsburgh, all of which were invasion attempts by Britain that were repulsed by the US, showing that annexation of the US was a goal for Britain.
