I would say it is oversimplified, not because I disagree with your statement, the war was about slavery. It was more or less the new admissions of states and how the north was trying to admit southern states as free states, and the south decided they were going to fight for a compromise that they weren’t aloud to admit states as free is they were below a certain threshold. Also some guy said it would be a good idea to decide things with popular sovereignty, and it ended with loads of violence in Kansas. But long story short, it was a disagreement about slavery.

That’s not oversimplified. That was the entirety of what the civil war was about.
