Which best describes the South in the years leading up to the Civil War? A)largely agrarian, with people who owned enslaved people as a minority

The main reason why the Civil War was fought was because of slavery and political control. The Southern states wanted to cement their authority over the federal government so as to abolish federal laws they didn't support including laws of slavery. The South wanted to acquire slavery from the western territories, while the North wanted white labor slavery.

The south had large plantations and hence needed people to work in them but some of them did not like the laws of slavery. The civil war ended slavery and most Americans gained their freedom.
