Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

That the American Civil War was fought over States' Rights, but that the only real issue within THAT issue was (you guessed it) slavery!.

Oh, and the South lost!.

JK, sort of!. I don't think it's possible for a history of such a cataclysmic event to have a single, unifying thesis!. You might want to check the entry for the book on Amazon!.com, read some reviews!. You may garner more there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
