I don't know if If I agree with the General on all points, but Slavery was certainly the main issue. There were however many others as well. How much any one component made up is unclear, even today. His argument that it was not about States Rights, is not however, correct. This was a festering issue throughout the South from 1820 on. Usually caused by tariff disputes. Read up on the politics of the early mid-1800's and this becomes crystal clear.
