Best Answer

The southerners were afraid that once all of the slaves left to go north for better jobs/treatment, they would lose money because they'd actually have to pay someone to work. They were also afraid that they would get treated badly and get taxed, etc.,etc., for trying to break off from the Union and become their own confederation.
