It's not about slavery, it's about state's rights. Any state right in particular? Slavery.

I'll go you one better. Southern states argued strenuously against state's rights at the Supreme Court when states like New York recognized the freedom of fugitive slaves in its territory.

A lovely clip I agree, but it's a tad idealistic to claim the north went to war only to free slaves. Baran and Sweezy explain how the war was about the extension of northern capitalist hegemony and wage-labour which are incompatible with a slave economy.

Seven treasonous southern legislatures declared they were separate, all of them listing slavery as a reason, and attacked the United States of America, bombarding Fort Sumter. The war came from the slavers, not from the north.

William Tappan Thompson (who said this) https://books.google.com/books?id=vuRCAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA416&dq=%22as+a+people+we+are+fighting+to%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=G5UTVYnsK9O5ogS8p4LIAg&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22as%20a%20people%20we%20are%20fighting%20to%22&f=false … was a prominent confederate who pushed for the adoption of the "White Man's Flag" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tappan_Thompson … He may have helped in its creation but he's more known as a proponent for its adoptionhttps://twitter.com/CandaceTX/status/765965442221416448 …
The#conferateflag is racist. Why else would its creator have written this
about it? https://books.google.com/books?id=vuRCAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA416&dq=%22as+a+people+we+are+fighting+to%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=G5UTVYnsK9O5ogS8p4LIAg&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22as%20a%20people%20we%20are%20fighting%20to%22&f=false … pic.twitter.com/Hp9aDnu70h -
Indeed. A distant relative of mine, Gappa Talmadge Yelverton, signed the Alabama articles of secession. Addressing the secession convention, he said this: "The question of Slavery is the rock upon which the Old Government split: it is the cause of secession."
