Are you so afraid of truth that you can't accept the fact that South Carolina's Declaration plainly says that the preservation of slavery was the main reason for secession?

Sorry to point out another error, my friend, but what South Carolina declared was they were seceding for two principles: "the right of a State to govern itself; and the right of a people to abolish a Government when it becomes destructive of the ends for which it was instituted." The South Carolina Convention further declared, "The guaranties of the Constitution will then no longer exist; the equal rights of the States will be lost."

Respectfully,

South Carolina's Declaration of Secession says the main reason for secession was to preserve slavery.
