I will concede that slavery was a part of the reason, but a part argued more by the North than the South. In reality there were more abolitionist movements in the south than the North. Had the civil war not occurred, slavery would have ended in the south anyway. So if not really about slavery, what? The same problem we have today, an overarching central government that sees individual states as the problem not the solution. The Southern states quite rightly saw their individual sovereignty being eroded by Washington, and the had every right to secede. The South wanted to be left alone and free from central tyranny. How much times have changed since then, yet how little has changed since then too.
