To Provide inexpensive labor on Large Plantations!
By 1861, it is clear that most people in the Northern non slave US States believe that slavery is immoral. By the same year many not most, of the people in the Southern States believe that slavery is not immoral.
Because the southern states were economies based on slavery and many in the northern states felt that slavery was wrong.
I believe it was slavery.
Slavery split up the country, and with the North's striving to abolish slavery, many southern states began seceeding, beginning with South Carolina.
The Southern states wanted to keep their slaves, and they were worried that President Abraham Lincoln wanted to free the slaves, so many of the southern states left the union to try and keep their slaves.

The worst thing in the Southern colonies to many was slavery. Slavery was abolished after the South lost badly in the Civil War.
Answer made assuming the above question means: Why did the Union not join the confederacy?The answer is somewhat simple: The union wished to abolish slavery. This caused multiple states start to take sides, and as you can see, the southern states joined the confederacy as they ran large plantations and needed the African slaves to run them. The northern states did not have many slaves due to a lack of need because their food supply/money was made mostly on family run farms.
If its the end of slavery then all of the states were free
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.
