The only right at issue was to make slaves of other men

You're wrong. Slavery was an issue but it was not the only issue. I've already posted Lincoln's thoughts on the matter. He felt slavery would die, by itself. It (slavery) was not the issue revisionism would have us believe.

At issue was a) the North wanting to preserve the Union and b) the South wanting to preserve their sovereignty.

The sovereignty of the United States rests on the whole people of the United States.

See Chisholm v. Georgia (1793), Martin v Hunter's Lessee (1816), Cohens v. Virginia (1821) and McCullough v Maryland (1819).

It's bad form to wait 70 years and say you don't agree.

I don't think so. Quote Lincoln to support your statement.
