No but in shorter tems slavery was one of the main issues and doesn't exist anymore and couldn't because of amends to the constitution and no i doubt that the union will break apart again

No. The fundamental issue to which all others were subordinated was slavery. The other, which was used to protect slavery was state soveriegnty. Although there are still legitimate differences over the proper constitutionally mandated roles of the federal and state governments, there is no longer any question of federal supremacy within constitutional limits. Furthermore, although there do remain regional differences, time, transportation and communication have created a sense of a single American identity which overtops regional or state identities.Michael Montagne
