While many argue that the South fought only to keep slavery legal, slavery was only a part of the reason the South wanted to fight. The South did not like the fact that if the North won, there will be a very centralized government that will favor the rich Northern part of the U.S. The South wanted a decentralized government where states rights was supreme. The South fought for states rights which includes the right to own slaves.
