To be fair, my statement was that I could see it being the match that lit a number of powder kegs that have been piling up for years. Honestly, it's much like the election of Lincoln that kicked off the first one. Lincoln being elected wasn't the reason for the Civil War; there was decades of build up with many other issues building up. Even though Lincoln was not intending to free any slaves when elected, that was the perception of the states that ended up seceding.
