Best Answer

You won't find quick information about this, because the causes are still being debated to this day.

'Slavery' is not a good enough answer. Simply, most Northerners were not abolitionists, and Lincoln had been elected because he was moderate on the slavery question.

The big debate was about the extension of slavery into the South West, and the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. This meant that the South was always being outvoted in Congress, which was liable to pass laws that favoured the North.
