Between this and google we've got it covered. We don't need no stinking historians. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

To lazy to look it up right now. Not a fun day at work, but there was a famous quote from Lincoln that the war was to preserve the union not end slavery.
I got 96%, which was 2 wrong. However, I disagree with one of the two answers they marked wrong, so I'm giving myself a 98%.
The one I legitimately got wrong was the number of amendments.
The one I disagree with was "What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?" Their answer was "the flag", but my answer was "the country". Yes, the words say "...pledge allegiance to the flag...", but the flag is symbolic of the country. Hence you are showing loyalty to the country.
That one was good, but my favorite wrong answer was the one where it listed "Secretary of Sports" as a cabinet position.
Would.
Argh.
Again. Yes, Lincoln entered the war to preserve the Union. Which was broken. Primarily because of slavery.
And yes, economic factors entered in (though most historians have abandoned the "colonial economy" argument that Sean has presented and noted that the South was weak economically/educationally/culturally because of the prevalence of a system predicated on slave labor [though they can and might be wrong]). And yes, states' rights were involved. But read the state resolutions on secession and the answer to why they split from the Union and thus began the process that led to war and the answer is: slavery.
