I do not disagree with you that slavery caused succession. But slavery did not cause the civil war. The act of succession was at the heart of the war. If, as you say, the south would have been complacent with the fact that slavery would be contained to those states that had established slavery, and that the non-slave states were loathe to return run away slaves, then succession may not have occurred.

My contention is that succession is what caused the war. Not slavery itself.
