No, not really.  The slavery stakeholders in the south were a minority and yes they would resist the elimination of slavery.  But the common jane and joe were not slave holders.  They held allegiance to their state and to those of common tradition.  It would be absurd to say that slavery played no role in the civil war just as it is absurd to say that slavery was the only issue.  The common soldiers, having no personal stake in slavery, were not fighting for it.  They were fighting for what they perceived as freedom from being told how to live.  In the mind of the common soldier, it was likely about resisting what they viewed as enslavement by the North.
