The disagreement about whether or not it was ok to keep slaves is the reason the South seceded formally from the Union of States. The Civil War began because the South wanted to keep their slaves, but the North was trying to do away with the practice.
The election of Abraham Lincoln as president whom was against the idea of slavery. But, the southerners almost required slavery because of all the farms that they have and especially back then around the time of the industrial revolution in the United States where they needed cotton for the mills up North in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states in the West, with the prospect of the South being permanently outvoted in Congress.
The final straw was the election of Lincoln and the Republicans in the 1860 election, on a ticket that specifically ruled-out any new slave-states.
The southern states finally decided to secede when they decided the north had gone too far with Abraham Lincoln's election due to the fact they then saw themselves as a minority.
Lincoln's election as President in November 1860. They knew that he would never allow the creation of any new slave-states.
