Why did conflict and civil war occur after many African nations became independent?

There was conflict and war because none of the southern farmers and businessmen wanted their slaves to become independent and free. They wanted them to serve them, to be their property. But Abraham Lincoln and the rest of the Northerners thought that slavery was horrendous, so they declared war. Years and years later, even after the slaves were free, the African American and Africans were still not as free as they should be. Quite a stupid situation if you think about it.
