And isn’t it funny how none of the secession declarations say a word about taxes or tariffs? Not a single word. But every single one of them mentions slavery — no ambiguity there, no need to read between the lines, they each overtly declared, in plain language, that they were seceeding in order to preserve the institution of slavery.

I think Longstreet pointed that out in his post war writings that the war was fought for the preservation of slavery and that is why hte Lost Causers led by Jubal Early (who by the way tried to raid DC in 1864) slammed him for. .
