If it was “all about slavery”, why did the North offer and why did the South reject explicit protection of slavery by constitutional amendment?.....ie the Corwin Amendment.

Because they were hotheads and "Fire-eaters"? They chose poorly.

But that makes no sense. Slavery forever by express constitutional amendment. Everything they wanted!...offered up freely by the Northern States....Right?
