Why did the North and South have the Civil War?

The North and South fought the Civil War because the South lived on slavery and could not live without it, the north on the other hand did not like slavery. They also fought the war because the South seceded after Lincoln became president. Seceded means that they separated from the country and became their own country, with their own name, and government. They seceded because they felt useless while Lincoln was in power, he did not like slavery so the South did not stand a chance against him. The North was also far more advanced than the South. The South was still using rivers for transportation, and fields for growing things. The North was already using railroads and factories.
