No, nearly everyone who lived in areas affected by the war suffered. To take note of that without making too emotional a presentation about it is simply good history.
Anyway, the title of this thread--and the proposition it makes--is still false. There is nothing "pro-slavery" about the text, even if a reader thinks that the account is unnecessarily concerned with the lives of people in the slave states who were not themselves slaves.
You're right. We must sympathise with the slave owners who lost their property* as well as sympathising with the slaves themselves.
*By property, I meant the slaves themselves.
