Slavery became a regional issue primarily due to the economic differences between the North and South in the United States. The Southern economy heavily relied on agriculture, particularly cotton, which depended on slave labor, while the North moved towards industrialization and wage labor. This divergence fostered distinct social, political, and economic interests that intensified sectional tensions. Over time, debates over the expansion of slavery into new territories and states further solidified its status as a regional issue, ultimately contributing to the Civil War.
