The word is secession, no succession, and no, my great-grandfather did not fight for slavery. He fought to defend his home and state from Northern invasion.

I didn't realize your great-grandfather was the guy who started the war. It's good to know who to blame

If he wasn't responsible, if forces larger and more powerful than himself caused the thing, then his own motives for fighting may not tell us why the war started and we may have to look elsewhere for explanations.
