Why was the Civil War Fought

Unfortunately the 13 th couldn't be applied to the states until 1868 with passage of the 14 th amendment

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, abolished slavery as a legal institution.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865.

He wasn't too long dead.

Nobody really believes that all those 1860's white folk went to war on behalf of the rights of black people, do you?

Isn't that what the Battle Hymn of the Republic was about?

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

and even then it had to be incorporated, right?

I guess you did say
"that all those"

So no, not all of them thought that.

The 14th amendment is the tool to incorporate but the scotus uses that that tool to selectively incorporate, based on challenges to various state laws that make it to the scotus and they decide if the constitution should be applied to the state and if so is the law unconstitutional and further they can apply it piece meal ie. Only part of the amendment they are wanting to apply.
So, yes then it must be applied.

and even then it had to be incorporated, right?
