The record from the people of the day makes in plain that white supremacy and the maintenance of slavery was the most improtant issue to the vast majority of whites in the so-called seceded states.
This comment is typical:
Soon to be CSA congressman Lawrence Keitt, speaking in the South Carolina secession convention, said, "Our people have come to this on the question of slavery. I am willing, in that address to rest it upon that question. I think it is the great central point from which we are now proceeding, and I am not willing to divert the public attention from it."
You won't show anything else by appeal to the record.
