I read through that page and from my research, it appears to me that he is the one revising history. Read through South Carolina's declaration of secession. There is no spin there as it's straight from the horses mouth.

It's boring as hell, but it contains the reasons for secession. About half way through they'll start giving specific reasons for withdrawing from the Union.
This is just one paragraph, but it shows that the subject of slavery is in there.
"A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that that "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction."
