The five issues that causes this conflict was:
Economic and social differences between the North and the South.
States versus federal rights.
The fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents
Growth of the Abolition Movement.
The election of Abraham Lincoln.
Our founding fathers brushed aside the topic of slavery and left it for Lincoln's generation to resolve.

One notable example of internal dissent leading to war is the American Civil War (1861-1865). The deep-seated conflict over slavery and states' rights created significant divisions between the Northern and Southern states. As tensions escalated, dissenting voices within the South advocated for secession, ultimately leading to armed conflict when Southern states formed the Confederacy. This internal discord not only fractured the nation but also ignited a brutal war that reshaped America's social and political landscape.
The well-meant attempt to put the slavery question to a local vote in each new state. When they tried it in Kansas, the voters were intimidated by mounted terrorists from outside the state. This demonstrated that the slavery question was likely to spark a war.
The main reason for the Civil War was the right of secesion. The north began to put tighter and tighter restraints upon slavery in new territories and new states. The south feared this trend would lead to their votes being worthless, as new states would be anti-slavery. The right of the state to govern itself led the southern states to secede from the union. Slavery was the catalyst that lit the powder keg. There were many underlying causes that were building up as the 1850s came to a close the 1860s began. There are many who say that slavery was the main issue and that is not true. It was a very large contributing factor and arguably the main underlying cause of the southern states to evoke their ability to secede from the union. And remember, President Lincoln's main cause for going to war was to preserve the union. If he could have done so by leaving slavery intact, he would have done so. The politically correct, and smart thing to say is that I am going to war to preserve the union because saving the union first, is of higher priority. You don't cut off your nose to spite you face. Lincoln did fight the Civil War too end the evil of slavery.
John Flinken caused the conflict
The south wanted to keep slavery to keep their economy going as opposed to doing the right thing and setting salves free. This is how the conflict started!
The Wilmot Proviso lead to conflict because it specifically says that no slavery is allowed in any parts of Mexico.
The short answer: The South was the section of the country which used slavery, and the North did not. The South felt disconnected from the North and thus formed an almost separate culture, increasing the distinctiveness of, and the enmity between, the two regions.
The American Civil War (1861-1865) itself did not lead to confederation; rather, it was a conflict between the Northern states (Union) and the Southern states (Confederacy) over issues such as slavery and states' rights. The Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, which was an attempt at a confederation of independent states. Ultimately, the Union's victory restored national unity and led to the abolition of slavery, but the Confederacy's existence was a direct consequence of the war, rather than a result of confederation.

Texan independence, achieved in 1836, heightened tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States. The annexation of Texas in 1845 as a slave state exacerbated these tensions, as it expanded the territory where slavery was permitted. This conflict over the extension of slavery into new territories contributed to the larger sectional divisions that ultimately led to the Civil War. Additionally, the desire to expand slavery into new states fueled the debate over states' rights and federal authority, further polarizing the nation.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 led to widespread violence in the Kansas Territory between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers, known as "Bleeding Kansas." The act allowed the settlers to decide through popular sovereignty whether Kansas would allow slavery, intensifying the sectional conflict over slavery in the lead-up to the Civil War.

Jefferson Davis was elected as the President of the Confederate States of America in 1861, shortly after several Southern states seceded from the Union. His leadership symbolized the Confederacy's commitment to maintain and protect the institution of slavery, which was a primary source of conflict with the Northern states. The election of Davis and the subsequent formation of the Confederacy exacerbated tensions, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War as the Union sought to preserve national unity and abolish slavery. Ultimately, his presidency represented the deepening divisions between North and South, culminating in armed conflict.
The Wilmot Proviso, introduced in 1846, aimed to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico, intensifying the sectional conflict between the North and South. It galvanized opposition from Southern states, who viewed it as a direct threat to the institution of slavery and their economic interests. The failure to pass the Proviso highlighted the deepening divide over slavery, contributing to the rise of sectional parties and ultimately setting the stage for the Civil War. Its debates underscored the irreconcilable differences that would erupt into conflict in 1861.
Between 1800 and 1848, the nature of slavery in the United States shifted from being primarily an economic institution to a deeply contentious moral and political issue. The abolitionist movement gained momentum, challenging the justification of slavery and advocating for its end, while pro-slavery advocates increasingly framed slavery as a positive good. The expansion of slavery into new territories following the Mexican-American War intensified debates, exemplified by events like the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, highlighting sectional tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War. This period saw slavery evolve from a regional economic system to a central topic of national conflict, shaping the nation’s future.
