It's impossible to tell no documents survive from the time. Particularly documents that would explicitly lay out that the civil war was about slavery and the right of slaver states to keep owning people as property.
Rather the only surviving documents of the civil war are statues of confederate generals, who I'm pretty sure were all great guys.

That is an inaccurate statement. You need to read about American history.

I love history!
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth.
