Absolutely wrong. All of the Confederate states explicitly name slavery as the purpose of their secession. The Confederate Constitution itself actually reduced state powers in several areas. The Confederate Constitution - embodying both of these issues - explicitly forbids individual states from ever abolishing slavery. The Confederate states were not given the power to impose their own individual tariffs. Agricultural exports were not reduced after the war.
