Best Answer

The south's succession from the Union and the strain of slavery over the entire country.
it's spelled "civil". Individual state's power was a big reason. The decision to outlaw slavery in the entire US scared southern states because these relied heavily on slave labor. Admission of new states was a difficult process for pro and anti-slavery groups because they wanted equal representation in congress and didnt want to give the other side an advantage.
