The Constitution reserves any powers not explicitly mentioned therein as reserved for the states. Lincoln believed in an all powerful Federal authority. Slavery happened to be an issue, but there were others.
Again, we are looking at 18th Century people and issues through 21st Century eyes. For example, what do you think both sides would have thought about gay and transgender rights had they known back then what was going to go on today?
What do you think Lincoln, Davis, Lee Grant and all the rest would have had to say? They'd have thought us mad.

The question of Slavery is the rock upon which the Old Government split: it is the cause of secession.
