Lincoln was elected to stop it's spreading to new territories
The Confederate Constitution wrote in it that it was a right to enslave the Negro.
The South did not have the right to leave the Union like the 13 Colonies did.
The South had representation and was not being treated unfairly.
The reason Jefferson gave the reasons for the Colonies rebellion was because he wanted the world to know the patience in which the Colonies had endured British abuses.
The South wanted to protect slave expansion and was upset over the election of Lincoln.
So, the two cannot be remotely compared!
Since Slavery was legal in the Union, Since Lincoln said "If they like their slavery, they can keep their slavery", how were they fighting to keep it?
Seems as if they already had it, and the Union had no intentions of taking it away from them. (For the first 2 years of the war, anyway.)
They were fighting to get away from Washington D.C. and the control of the New England power Barons.

Pretty hard to do when the Constitution just about guarantees it to remain legal throughout the nation.
The Confederate Constitution wrote in it that it was a right to enslave the Negro.
So did the US Constitution, but in much more subdued language.
The South did not have the right to leave the Union like the 13 Colonies did.
They had exactly as much right.
The South had representation and was not being treated unfairly.
Representation has nothing to do with a right to leave. In a meeting of two wolves and a sheep, the sheep may have "representation" but it won't do it any good when it comes to a vote on what's for dinner.
That is pretty much the situation the South found itself in in 1860.
Some Liberal, Race-Obsessed young Politician from Illinois was going to "Executive Order" them to death if they stayed in the Union.
Can you cite any references for the statements you make in this post?
Thanks.
