Why were the north and south fighting during the civil war?
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.
