slavery and the industry
The primary issue dividing the North and South in the United States before the Civil War was slavery. The North, with its industrial economy, generally opposed the expansion of slavery into new territories and states, advocating for abolition and civil rights. In contrast, the South's agrarian economy relied heavily on slave labor, leading to a strong defense of the institution. This fundamental disagreement over slavery, along with states' rights and economic differences, ultimately contributed to the secession of Southern states and the outbreak of the Civil War.
Southerners thought the federal government was benefiting one region over another
trick question it united them
The north considered the main issue in the war to be slavery. The south considered the main issue in the war to be state's rights. So as you see they weren't even fighting over the same issues!

The issue that the North and South fought over was called the Wilmot Proviso. It was basically a law of slavery: the North and South were fighting over slavery. The North were anti-slavery and the South were pro-slavery
The South looked at slavery as an economic issue. The North viewed slavery as a moral issue. In the North, slavery was proving to be unprofitable in the North and was dying out by the end of the American Revolution, but in the South white Southerners were increasingly more defensive of slavery.
