Interesting - you "learned" things that aren't at all true. It was indeed about slavery and white supremacy - the Confederate states said so quite plainly / explicitly in their statutes that they passed to secede from the United States as the sole reason for doing so. Their politicians said so in their speeches. I take them all at their word. Original sources straight of what they said with their own pens and their own mouths - not what someone "said" they said. I think they know why the seceded more than revisionists trying to whitewash the reality of it after the fact.
Did they bring it up because the oh-so-righteous Northerners brought it up?
Perhaps so. I mean, we’re talking discussions going on nigh 40 years to this.
Don’t be deluded about how important slaves were to Northerners. First of all, slavery was allowed, period, including in “loyal” states. Abolitionists were not overwhelming. Just like today’s liberals, they were the loudest and the most obvious for same. Plenty of Yankees said they were not interested in dying for some black slave.
Please tell me where these “revisionists” are and how much power they have over the narrative. You won’t find any of that revisionism (if it is) in textbooks today, nosirree.

I agree that when a group declares their intentions we should take their word for it.
