The North was significantly reducing their percentage of the population that were slaves since 1800. Lincoln and the Radical Republicans cared about slavery, that's all it took.

So you've never read South Carolina's Declarationn of Secession? If you would read it, you would read the South's own words that say they seceded mainly to preserve slavery. Truths are stubborn things that just won't go away, will they?
