The Civil War was a long time coming. We see the evidence of its beginnings in the Constitutional Conventions with the differences culturally, economically, philosophically even, between the northern representatives and the southern representatives. It's interesting to think how much New England was a land of religious fervor and the South was less so, a switch from today.
Anyway, if it hadn't been slavery there would have been another excuse. But. because our founding fathers essentially said "let those future guys deal with it" on that particular issue it was the one of many differences between the two halves of our country that served as the catalyst for secession and, in response, war.
