Slavery in the South was it's economic backbone... and while most white people in the South didn't have slaves -- never the less-- most got some type of income from the institution of slavery.
It is also important to remember: Slavery was a way of life for the Southern people and people do not normally like change, especially if someone else is trying to force it down their throat.

The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.
