"Oh, wait -- how clever! You're reintroducing the discredited "it was all about slavery" canard, concerning which you've already been confuted, pounded into oatmeal, stomped into the ground, and had your @ss handed to you for a hat."

You forgot to add, "flat as a tortilla, " pequeño. Those who deny that secession was inexorably linked to the propagation and expansion of chattel slavery are akin to Holocaust deniers.

Pequeño, yourself.

Who's a Holocaust denier? Name names.

Then, support your equation of "[t]hose who deny that secession was inexorably linked to the propagation and expansion of chattel slavery" with real Holocaust deniers.

Tell me who has denied the link, and show how their skepticism is flatly wrong and morally loaded, despite the fact that States leaving the Union implicitly gave up their claims in the Territories, and thereby abandoned all efforts on behalf of their citizens to prove that Southerners had the right to migrate to the Territories with their slaves.

The South gave up on the Territories and the subject of the expansion of slavery, by seceding. Secession is negatively tied to "the expansion of slavery", if secession guaranteed that there would be no expansion.

You made a foolish statement, just to halfway support calling people who disagree with you "Holocaust deniers". But it seems to me that the vilification of competing opinion and the expression of satisfaction with Civil War violence and "puttings down" is a lot better cultural index of who is infected with the spirit you ascribe to others.
