It was started over money. The northern share croppers didn't want to compete with super cheap labor. The south was full of racists that viewed their slaves as less than human property. They were also wealthy due to said slaves. The only "states rights" the south cared about protecting was the "right" to own slaves. The only social justice the north was looking for was a little more cash.
