The over-dependence of the South on its cotton exports.

It had no manufacturing base, and had to import everything it needed. The North was trying to protect its own manufacturing industry by raising tariffs on imports.

This looked like a tax on the South. So the South needed more slave-states, to increase its representation in congress.

That is why there was so much controversy about the terms of admission of new territories into the USA.
