The north considered the main issue in the war to be slavery.
The south considered the main issue in the war to be state's rights.
So as you see they weren't even fighting over the same issues!
the balance of power between the the states and the federal government
The issue of slavery.
The main issue that divided the North and the South before the onset of the US Civil War centered around slavery. Most Northerners were content to let slavery in the South continue, but were opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. The session of the Southern states ended that particular point of friction.
The big immediate issue was the law requiring all new states to be non slave states. The underlying large issue was the erosion of residual state sovereignty guaranteed in the 9th and 10th amendments of the constitution. That larger issue is still being fought in the courts today.
That there would always be hatred between the North and the South.

I think it was despite the fact that during the civil war we were not really "united". The issue of Slavery divided North and South temporarily into two separate-nations: THE USA(North) and the CSA(South)

One of the disadvantages that the North had during the Civil War was the fact that they were divided. Not everyone in the north agreed on the issue of slavery. This made it difficult for them to come together. Southern disadvantages included them not having a railroad. They also were not able to quickly produce needed supplies.

This was the civil war. It was a battle about state rights against federal rights. The war was brought about from many things but the one that kicked it into action was the issue of slavery.
