the south said it was all about slavery when they seceded.
The south only seceded because the Republicans wanted to stop the spread of slavery.

The Democrats in the south wanted everyone to have a Negro chattel slave.

Mutually exclusive.

The war, however, was fought over a states right to secede, and other states rights issues.

Without slavery the civil war we know wouldn't have happened.

But it is a vast oversimplification to say the civil war was about slavery.

Lots of other important subplots.
