The Civil War was fought over the secession of the southern states. Southern secession generated the US federal government's military campaign to reclaim the southern states and crush the rebellion against the federal government. The reason the southern states seceded is that they feared US federal government intervention in the racist institution of African slavery. Many people say that North and South went to war over "states' rights," but this is an historically revisionist viewpoint expressed primarily by persons in the South who are enamored of a factually incorrect historical view of the Civil War. A review of the official secession documents (secession convention resolutions and secession ordinances) of the eleven states that seceded shows that nine of the eleven states named Northern interference with the institution of African slavery as the reason for secession. The Vice-President of the CSA, Alexander Stephens, in announcing the Confederacy gave protection of the racist institution of African slavery as the "cornerstone" upon which the Confederacy stood (Alexander Stephens -- "Cornerstone" speech.) He described African slavery as justified on moral, scientific, and racial grounds. The Southern states seceded solely to preserve the institution of African slavery. The US federal military entered the southern states to subdue the rebellion. The US and the CSA fought the Civil War over the southern institution of African slavery.
Some northerners believed slavery was morally wrong. Southerners believed slavery was an essential part of their lives.
By 1861, it is clear that most people in the Northern non slave US States believe that slavery is immoral. By the same year many not most, of the people in the Southern States believe that slavery is not immoral.
Northern View Of Slavery- A vocal minority of northerners were abolitionists or people who wanted to end slavery. They believed that slavery was morally wrongs. Abolitionists favored a gradual end while others demanded that all slavery was outlawed at once. Not all northerners wanted to end slavery Southern Views Of Slavery Many southerns belied that god intend that black people should provide the labor for white "civilized" society

North Carolina was not a hotbed for secession. But after Fort Sumter North Carolina joined four other Southern states in the Confederacy, they included Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and finally, the very late entrance into the rebellion of North Carolina in May 20, 1861. The people of this state were virtually dragged into the Southern cause.
