Why did southerners remain committed to farming?
The South's landscape was more fertile and rich than in the North. Wide and vast fields also contributed to large plantations for producing cash crops, such as tobacco.

The North was the hub of shipping and fishing while the South practiced agriculture for their source of food and economically kept them ahead.

Did the rebels during the civil war want to free slaves?
The Civil War was caused largely because of trade inequities between the industrialized north and the agrarian south. The "Rebels" were the southerners, and although some southerners were in favor of the abolitionist movement, the majority were not. Farming is a very labor intensive task, and slaves were the only practical way to conduct farming prior to tractors and other farm machinery. Acutely they wanted to keep the confederates from leaving the United States.
