It was states rights from a Southern perspective. And yes one of those rights was slavery. Which still exists by the way. There is no revision needed.
From a Northern perspective it was about maintaining the union. Abe's comments make that clear. So one could argue that it wasn't about slavery.

By "one of," you actually mean, "the main one."

Chattel race-based slavery still exists in America, with states being able to buttress their entire economy upon it?
No.
Don't be one of those obtuse mofos and act like because slavery still exists in numerous forms, the CW couldn't possibly have been fought to eradicate such.
The prevailing system in the US at the time was at issue.
