A question regarding the slavery issue. How do you reconcile secession not being about slavery, when Alexander Stephen's Corner Stone Speech is extremely racist, and Mr. Stephen's is very succinct in an entry to his 1866 diary in which he reflected that "Slavery was without a doubt the occasion of secession?"
