The only people i've ever seen claim the US Civil War was Lincolns personal crusade against Slavery are either, people who have no interest in and/or don't know much about it so it pretty much becomes the default answer. Or lost causers as a strawman argument, as a way to make a point that noone is disagreeing with.
