The reason I argue that slavery was the motivation for secession is because I have actually read every Article of Secession and every one of them said that they were seceding because they wanted to preserve slavery.
You could look it up.
I have lived in the South my entire life. I was taught that the Civil War was about state's rights, and tariffs, not slavery.
Actually reading the Articles of Secession opened my eyes.
