My thought is the civil war was fought is for economic reasons. The Southerners relied on the slaves to do much , if not all, of their work. Plus of course there was the slave trade This was a major part of the economic life of the deep South. With slaves gone much of the South's economy would be greatly diminished. The Southerners felt they couldn't tolerate that.

Heavy taxation on southern states from the north, states rights. Slavery actually played a very small role despite popular belief.. The north had slaves as well.

What are the Civil War rights?

The American Civil War was about the attempted secession of certain states from the Union; if any rights were established by that war, it is the right of the US to prohibit any state from seceding. Do not confuse this with the issue of civil rights. Civil rights are rights to which people are morally and legally entitled by reason of being citizens, not by reason of the civil war.
