The major disagreement that helped unfold the US Civil War was the view by Southern states that they had the right to remove themselves from the United States. The primary view in the North regarding slavery was that most believed it should not extend to new territories and new states. They and Lincoln were fine to let it exist where it already existed. The US Supreme Court in 1859 stated that slavery was constitutional. Therefore only an amendment to the US Constitution could abolish slavery. This was passed in December of 1865, the 13th amendment.Also, for many Northerners, the secession of the Southern slave states ended the problem. It ended if the South was allowed to secede. US President Lincoln decided that it was better to keep the US united at any cost. This was not a national view point and Lincoln's presidential run did not claim he intended to end slavery.
