Wars are about money. The south was making huge money off free labor and abusing that labor made them richer. You cannot divorce the war from the concept of people as property. Buying and selling people offended many Americans. The south was not going to give them up.
Slavery is not as simple as you are pretending. There were religious and moral reasons to hate it. There were people offended by what the slavers were doing and there was no way to allow it to continue.
Wars are not about money. They are about many reasons. The War of Secession was about property rights.
