Though he wasn't an abolitionist pre-Civil War, he was against slavery. After the Civil War, he was an active abolitionist. (Why? I don't know. Slavery was gone, what was there to be against?) I remember reading this on Wikipedia a while ago, look it up!

Thomas Jefferson liked slavery for his mammoth plantation in Monticello, but later he turned bankrupt and decided to help abolish slavery which later helped him to become president. he actually only frees 2 slaves in his lifetime and it was after he died. He had them freed in his will. Glad 2 help;)

South Carolina seceded because they believed that the institution of slavery was in peril. I believe the Civil War was about states rights - that is, the states rights to maintain slavery. South Carolina was complaining about the northern states violating the Constitution by not enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
