YEs it was. Redneck like to use the "states right" BS to justify starting a war. The only "right" they had a beef over was slavery. If Lincoln had said slavery could continue in the south forever there never would have been a Civil War.
If the war wasn't about slavery I find it very coincidental that the south which had issues with the federal government over slavery already decided to secede only weeks after a ABOLITIONIST became president. Totally not connected right?
