Primarily, it was the lack of a trading relationship between the states, and the lack of a single currency within the 13 colonies. In 1776-1781, the colonies proved they could unite for defense purposes. The constitution of 1791 was about constructing an economic system, hence its several compromises on how slavery would be handled within a united country, compromises that eventually led to disunion and civil war.
