Abolitionists didn't want it, southerners (most) did, the southern states wanted to split off because they wanted it and the other states didn't, and the north didn't want it and was fighting the south so that slavery would not be made "legal."
The war between the States was a fight over the ability of each state to remain independent and able to determine their own future.
A minor role became slavery AFTER President Lincoln declared that captured slaves were now free, thus ridding himself of the burden of feeding these captured slaves. The slaves of both the North and South remained slaves.
The major causes for the South to leave:
Loss of individual freedom of each state.
Self Determination circumvented by the Federal Government
Taxation issues
Slavery
Remember that the North also had slave states and that slavery was still legal in all of the United States even after the civil war. Slavery, while an issue, was certainly not the focus until after the emancipation proclamation.
Lincoln was quoted as saying: "If I could preserve the Union without freeing a single slave, I would do so." Turning the viewpoint of the civil war away from freedom for everyone to be self determining into a slavery issue was a masterful stroke of genius that Lincoln did with that address. he managed to do so without freeing a single slave. he also saved the North millions in freeing the "property" that was under the north's control. By freeing these people, he was no longer responsible for feeding and caring for the ex slaves they had in camps.
