Ok, you people always say this, but as an outsider, I have to ask...
Why is "slavery" mentioned 18 times in South Carolina's declaration of secession?
Why was "slavery" mentioned 7 times in Mississippi's declaration of secession?
And why did Alabama, Texas and Virginia, in their Ordinances of Secession call their confederates "Slave-holding States"?
I may see your point if you said that the Civil War was not only about slavery, but it definitely was about slavery to a large extent.

Did you read what Dr. Roberts said (including in the longer prior posts to which he linked)? I mean that was the entire point of the post.
