Right. Sumners tax was never enacted and neither were the other proposals. But, it was all part of a larger picture.
"The bottom psychological problem was the South's hatred and fear of the slaves."
Exactly. They hated and feared the idea of large numbers of freed blacks among them and the retribution that might come with it. (But hasn't.)
You might be able to say that some still do.
To assert that the war had nothing to do with slavery is absurd on it's face.
