Was the U.S. Civil War unique regarding its relation to slavery? (people fighting for the freedom of a goup they were not part of)

Depends on how narrowly you define 'freedom'. Certainly many nations have fought to remove districts and states from other nation's rule. For example, the French intervention in the American Revolution helped the Colonists be "free" in their minds, even though they were not chattel slaves originally.
