Perhaps our little "historians" here would be interested in letting the states speak for themselves as to why they seceded?

You don't even have to read through it all.  Just do a word find for "slave" and "negro" and click 'Next' a bunch of times.  It is abundantly clear why those states seceded.  That's not to say there weren't a few economic disagreements here and there, but it's wrong to suggest that slavery wasn't the dominant factor.

It was the icing on the cake yes but it's much deeper than slavery. I'm wondering why people aren't attacking the north for using slavery as a way to make the southern economy suffer for the benefit of the northern states.
