Best Answer

The Civil War was caused largely because of trade inequities between the industrialized north and the agrarian south. The "Rebels" were the southerners, and although some southerners were in favor of the abolitionist movement, the majority were not. Farming is a very labor intensive task, and slaves were the only practical way to conduct farming prior to tractors and other farm machinery.

Acutely they wanted to keep the confederates from leaving the United States.
