Because Northern people opposed it, and southern farmers supported it therfore it caused tensions between the North and South which caused the American Civil War
The South advocated Slavery and States Rights.
South Carolina seceded because they believed that the institution of slavery was in peril. I believe the Civil War was about states rights - that is, the states rights to maintain slavery. South Carolina was complaining about the northern states violating the Constitution by not enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
Back then the states rights, was the cause of slavery because the south debated allot about black slavery. In the south congress gave rights, that stated slavery was allowed. Involving them to go to places were blacks (African) lived. The congress, most on the slavery side. Said that south of the united states would include all slave states, and in the north all states there was free. By doing all those laws made slavery right to the wight people. In the south. basically: The reason why is, is because the united states president, and the congress were to lazy to do there on things, like brush their teeth. So they got other (Black) people to do it.
It is likely that they wished for each state to make the decision on the legality of slavery. That would be the proper 'state's rights' position for the period.
Slavery. "State's Rights" is code language for "We want to own people of color".
states rights, particularly as it related to slavery
The Civil War was really all about slavery. The South wanted slavery to continue, and generally the North wanted slavery to end. However, from the South's point of view the Civil War was all about states rights versus federal government rights. The South wanted the states to have more rights and therefore more power than the federal government. The North generally wanted the federal government to have more rights and therefore more power than the states.
Northern workers opposed slavery; southern planters support it
