SLAVERY (CAUSE)

• The North was not officially fighting to end slavery (at least not until Abraham Lincoln did the Emancipation Proclamation midway through the war). It was fighting to say that no state can leave from the Union. But the South was definitely fighting to preserve slavery.

STATE'S RIGHT (CAUSE)

• Congress passed a law that kept new states admitted to the country from being slave states. Every single slave state voted against this law, yet it was still passed because the government was dominated by the Republicans. The South saw that it practically had no power in the federal government, and would rather form their own. So they did. Abraham Lincoln decided he must mobilize the military to fight the rebels in order to protect the union of the United States.

SECTIONALISM

• Sectionalism contributed to a Southern identity based not only on a distinctively different way of life, but on a geographically shared mistrust and apprehension towards the Northern way of life represented by the federal government and the election of United States President Abraham Lincoln. By the south was more rural and farm like and there land required more slave larbor
