Clearly there was a lot more than just slavery at play here.
And yet Alexander Stephens, a native of Georgia, and Vice-President of the Confederacy, had this to say:
quote:
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

Typical bullshite response from you. You will simply dismiss all the serious and relevant contemporaneous criticisms of the state of the union and focus only the the issue of racism and slavery.
Hilariously, virtually every doomsday prediction written by pro-southerners came to fruition during and after the CW, and Lincoln laid the foundation for our current governmental structure and executive authorities. I guess those predictions are meaningless to you, because a guy from Georgia in the 1860s was a racist. The concerns of a great many southerners were validated within days of Lincoln taking office, but I guess that's a pointless observation if the only issue that matters to you today is slavery and racism.
