The goal of the Confederate forces was to obtain their independence from the North and continue using slavery.
During this time, the Southern states were focused on agriculture, while the Northern states were focused on industrialization. The South would have plantations where they would grow cash crops, such as indigo and tobacco. These cash crops would sell for a lot of money overseas, but they needed manpower in order to produce more. This is why they were so adamant about keeping slavery, which they felt the North would try to take away from them. With Abraham Lincoln winning the election, this only caused them to worry more.
This made the South secede, or rebel against the Union. They wanted to be independent from the Union and felt as if they were not being heard or listened to. They strongly believed that the Union, along with Abraham Lincoln, would try to abolish slavery, which would cause them to lose income.
Air pollution
Highway congestion
Air pollution has caused it because the engine of the cars has made the smell of the air be not very nice, and people could end up being ill because of having to breathe in petrol, because they might have an allergen.
Highway congestion because there are so many cars these days, that most of the time you go on a highway (motorway), there are loads of cars queueing. This can also cause air pollution because the animals that might be in a field at the side of the motorway won't like the smell of all those cars.
