Slavery had little to do with the start of the war of northern aggression. Slavery would have died a natural death if the war had never happened.
Bottom line, the Southern states had the right to leave the US, and did the right thing by doing so.

The Slaveholders’ constitution made the abolition of slavery unconstitutional and therefore impossible.
Article I Section 9(4)
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.
