And it doesn't matter if only a few hundred thousand folks owned slaves. The fact is that a few milliion U.S. citizens in the huge region known as the "South" were willing to fight to defend the institution of slavery. An area that is bigger and was more populace than many entire countries at the time.
Your "small" argument holds no water Lab, because it was by no means a small issue in the U.S. like it was in Canada.
