Slavery, and far, far, far behind that States' Rights (primarily insofar as some states wanted the right to keep slavery legal). Really, it was pretty much all about slavery.

This is not to say that there weren't sound economic reasons why slavery was such an divisive issue (it wasn't that people in the north were just nicer or more ethical than people in the south). But: THE issue was slavery and anybody who believes otherwise is fooling themselves.
