The split between the southern states and the northern states

The rest of the united states told the south that there would be consequences and the were

The south looked at savory as the only way to farm their huge plantations and they saw slaves as part of their way of life as much of the north looked to abolish slavory

The south feared that the northern states would succeed in their goal and that they threatened their way of life

With each new state that was added to the united states there was a shift in power between the north and the south

The south fared that they would eventually lose so much power that they would lose all of their rights as individual states

Since the constitution had been write there had been arguments on how much power the federal government should have verses how much power the individual states should have

The southern states felt that the federal government had been taking and restricting the rights of the individual state

The norther states still relied on large scale farming in rural arias and the norther states had transitioned to industries in big cities such as new York so they had a completely different type of economy

The southern states still relied heavily on slave labor to run their plantations or large farms and the northern states that no longer relied on slave labor wanted to abolish slavery
