Why did the South want to be free from Northern authority? What was the main problem with the North?

It was our right under the constitution. The constitution is a free association of individual states. It is not meant to be a death pact. Unfortunately, Lincoln didn’t see it that way and so it is now interpreted by many as a death pact.

Congress had levied a crushing export tax on goods produced in the South. That was the main issue.

Nullification came prior to the issue of slavery. Link provided.
