First off just stop now you don't know anything about the subject alright can you at least admit that. Because if you knew anything about the US Civil War you would know that the NORTH DIDN'T START THE WAR , the first shot's were fired by General Pierre G.T. Beauregard commander of the South Carolina Brigade.
As for the rest of your post I have already answer your Question on why the North couldn't just free the slaves. Also the Civil War wasn't just fought over Slavery there were many reason behind I suggest you go and try to learn some of the History behind the US Civil War before trying to discuss it any futher.
O, looky!
"On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President. In his inaugural address, he argued that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, that it was a binding contract, and called any secession "legally void".[75] He stated he had no intent to invade Southern states, nor did he intend to end slavery where it existed, but that he would use force to maintain possession of federal property." (Wiki) :lol:
He DID NOT INTEND TO END SLAVERY! Brilliant!
"The South sent delegations to Washington and offered to pay for the federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States. Lincoln rejected any negotiations with Confederate agents because the Confederacy was not a legitimate government, and that making any treaty with it would be tantamount to recognition of it as a sovereign government..."
And so the South decided to take what was on THEIR TERRITORY!
Yeah...
