You could argue it was about economics and the rights of states. Now slavery was undertow in all these issues, but to pin it solely on slavery is somewhat simplistic.

Secession was due to 19% of the Souths citizens being levied 3 times their proportionate share of Federal expenditures. It just so happens that the vast majority of those in attendance at secession conventions happened to be part of the 19%. Rich man starts a war, the poor man fights it. The Union needed fresh soul's to "preserve the Union "so slavery became "the" issue of 1863.
