Indeed. For years I have been around Southern partisans. I have been around people who advocate secession today, I have been around Nathan Bedford Forrest fanatics, I have been around Confederate reenactors of every stripe. I've been around them around campfires when no one else is around, in SCV meetings, and in political conversation. Never have I met any of them who have ever advocated, favored, or thought wistfully about slavery, or for that matter segregation. I am sure they exist, as they do in everyday life, but I have not stumbled upon them in my time.

Pure Hogwash!Many of our brethren on the right are deep south conservatives, still fighting the frickin' Civil War. While I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in fighting the battles of the 21st Century, I refuse to join them in re-fighting the battles of the early 1860s.

Yeah, that one line was indeed hogwash.
The historical record fully support the conclusion that slavery was the casus belli. But that doesn't mean that people today who support secession or whom believe that Southern secession was justified share those same beliefs regarding slavery.
