To secede and to keep slavery.
What? They did not prevent a civil war, they fought one .
South or The Confederacy and the North or The Union
The north and south
In the South
The South was fighting to keep its independence - and retain the cotton revenues. The North was fighting to restore the Union - and regain the cotton revenues.
In the beginning of the Civil War the North was fighting to join the South back into the Union. While to the South the war was about defense, to protect their new country Confederate States of America(C.S.A). By the end of the war the North was fighting against the 'Peculiar Institution in other words slavery, while the South was fighting to save it.
He was fighting against the south so he was with the north fighting against slavery.
They were fighting because they made many disagreements between the north and south.
The North, Union, and the South, Confederates.
North and South!
They were "the Civil War". The North and the South were going against each other. They were fighting against slavery (the North). And the South wanted slavery.
To keep the North and the South together.......
