Since the signing of the constitution by the original 13 colonies, the US was divided into slave-holding and non-slave-holding states, and this difference of policy was a source of conflict for various reasons. For example, if a slave manages to escape from a slave-holding state into a non-slave-holding state, does the slave get returned to his or her supposed owner? Is an escaped slave considered a person, or simply lost property? These and other issues caused a lot of tension, to the point where the south just wanted to secede. Meanwhile the north wanted to preserve the union. So the issue was resolved by means of war.
