It wasn’t slavery. It was a back issue.
The war was about trade and the Mississippi River.

"The war was about trade and the Mississippi River." You digress.
No Confederate state document on reasons for their secession mentioned that issue.
It was concocted much later as an effort to draw attention away from what secessionists said was their real reason: protecting their "peculiar institution" of slavery.
