Issues have been brewing between the north and the south from the beginning of the nation. By the late 1850s, tension had become too much. One of the main differences between the north and the south was that the north was more industrialized, while the south had more of an agricultural economy where slaves were beneficial. Each side had their own beliefs which led to disagreement over taxes, tariffs, and states rights versus those of federal rights. The Dred Scott case, along with slavery discussions in general played a large role in disrupting the union. The north did not want to have slave, where the south did.
