It wasn't all about slaves. It had a long history that the North states exploited the South on the economical levels (the slaves was the smallest part of the problem in the economical levels). Therefore, the Southern states had enough with the exploits by North and the slaves issue spark the fire and it had caused Lincoln to invade Southern states.
Don't you know that President Lincoln is a really ugly President in USA?
