State's rights: Southerners also believed that the federal government was encroaching on the rights of the states. They argued that the states had the right to secede from the Union if they so chose.
Economic differences: The North and South had different economic systems. The North was industrialized, while the South was agricultural. This led to different economic interests and tensions between the two regions.
