In the United States the biggest disagreement during the 1800's was over the issue of Slavery, that is wither or not it was just, moral and fair to buy and sell humans to do common manual labor. The northern states believed in a strong federal government that could and should decide to outlaw slavery. The southern states believed in a weak federal government that would leave the issue of slavery up to each individual state to decide as they saw fit. This disagreement lead to the decision of the southern states to withdraw from the United States of America (USA) and form their own sovereign country called the Confederated States of America (CSA).
