The American Civil War was in fact caused by a variety of factors; however, the single-most important cause of the conflict was the "states' rights" issue of slave-holding. Does each state have the right to determine for itself whether slavery shall be allowed, protected, perhaps even promoted? Or does the institution of slavery raise a question that cannot be answered by an individual state's legislative and executive powers alone?

The Civil War in of itself answered this question. The Constitution did not explicitly prohibit this from happening, however ratification of the Constitution may have implied that States are subject to Federal laws. Although the issue of slavery was the catalyst issue, the Civil War was about the question of States rights vs. Federal power. Up until the Union won the Civil War the right of a state to secede was a matter of dispute.

For example, the right to profit from one's property vs. the right to clean air and water or the right of an unborn child to life vs. the right of women to control their bodies. The government places restrictions on civil rights when the actions of one person may conflict with the rights of another.
Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the Union, or the northern united states, during the civil war. The civil war was the conflict that led to the abolishment of slavery. However, the war was more about preventing states from having the right to secede than to abolish slavery. Lincoln banned slavery in order to cripple the southern economy, making a union victory easier.
