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.

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.
