Alot of them were actually anti centralization. Again only 4 percent had slaves in the south, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Many estimates have that % number being MUCH higher, but that includes the single slave owning households and not just the very large plantation owners who owned larger numbers of slaves to work the fields and reap in the huge profits.
But there was no shortage of useful idiots even back then who went out to fight (and die) for the rich who didn't give a single shit about them to begin with, to stay rich, if they heard a nice catch phrase or two and are told enough imagined wrongs.

I think it's safe to say they were forced to, but some probably genuinely thought they were fighting for the rights for the privileges of being slaves (free housing and food etc.)
There are many perspectives you can look at the civil war for better or worse, but I think it's unanimous that nobody wants to go back to such a disgusting time bar a few nutjobs.
Whoa... things aren't looking too good for the prosecution in Rittenhouse case. 🙂

This is a respectably nuanced view. I for one think slavery is disgusting in any manifestation, including modern slavery ala taxation candy inflation.

I'm a metroid fanboy.As Hank Hill would put it, I was playing a game where I was a girl!
Another series where I liked everything except getting lost.
Funnily enough I thoughly enjoyed getting lost in Hollow Knight. So atmospheric think I enjoyed randomly wandering more then the super hard boss fights.
