I didn't say it wasn't a reason at all. But if you read that honestly you'll see that the problem was with the federal government trying to exert a power over the states that it didn't have a right to, on the topic of slavery. Besides, that is just the reason for seceding. The reasons for fighting was to preserve their right to be independent from tyranny (as they saw it).
