31. States rights. The south at first got to keep their slaves while the north
freed theirs down to the Mason-Dixon Line. But yeah, slaves were THE reason for the war. The North was following along with England (the Abolishment Movement) and the South got scared they would lose their free workers and might have to treat them like human beings (ie PAY them). So there would have been no Civil War, without slavery.
