I think that’s correct. The north went to war to “preserve the union” but the south seceded to guarantee the preservation of slavery.
And of course slavery was the force at the core driving the war forward. If anyone doubts that, please explain the EP.

I don't doubt that theses were in fact major interest driving the parties involved. I simply dispute two critical points:
1: Theses were not the only intolerable oppressions the south feared.
2: The South's motive for withdraw is ill-relevant in so much that a free Constitutional republic depends upon the consent of the Govern being retained and thus also the inalienable right of the people to revolution and revolution driven session. To Hold in check the potential in politicians and political power toward tyranny and exploration of the political minority.
