No, it was the right to have slavery. The civil war was a States right issue. The southern states felt Lincoln would pass a federal law making slavery illegal and they felt each state should decide for themselves the slavery issue. Today we have some of the same schism concerning state rights vs federal law. The passage of legal marijuana laws is an example. Several states have made marijuana legal, but under federal law it is still illegal, so there is a schism between state and Federal Laws. Eventually the state and federal will have to align.

A second objective was to permit the continuation and expansion of slavery. For some southerners, this was the principal aim.
