I would say the "preservation of slavery" and the fear of Black Republicanism was the "Global Warming" carrot to move the emotions of the Southern people towards the utimate goal of these Breckinridge Democrats...disunion. The major complaint of those who later would volunteer to defend the South was these "bolters" shyed away from the recruitment offices, and were nary to be seen in the ranks.
