Well hypothetically if a new secession movement gathered steam, you wouldn’t be able to cite preservation of slavery as the motive would you.

By the way, elimination of slavery was not the primary motivation of the North...it was preservation of the powers of the central (Union) government. Similarly, preservation of slavery was not the prime motivator of the South.

The hell it wasn’t the Souths primary motivation. Read their constitution.
