The main issues that began to split the nation apart in the mid-1800s were primarily related to slavery, states' rights, and economic differences between the Northern and Southern states. The question of whether new states would allow slavery led to tension, along with disputes over the federal government's power and tariffs on goods. These underlying conflicts eventually culminated in the Civil War.
