How did I know I’d get a reply from you? Here’s the truth: although not every southerner fought for slavery , the plain fact remains the south seceded from the union because it feared Lincoln or people in his party would end slavery. Despite the fact that Lincoln tried to reassure the southern states that he wouldn’t change anything. All other arguments for the south seceding are spurious.
