The civil war, from the northern perspective was about freeing the slaves from early on. The north won, so the slaves were freed. The election of Lincoln, who campaigned on an antislavery platform, is what made the south leave the union. Slavery legally ended in 1865 but the attitudes behind it persisted for a century after that in the former slave states and were manifested in the 'jim crow' laws that were enacted in the southern states to strip blacks of the rights of citizenship, which they didn't get back until the 1960s.
