Why was slavery important to the South?
Cheap free labor was the only way of producing cotton - and lots of it. Following the invention of the cotton gin, cotton become "king" in the South, comprising a majority of its exports. Without slavery, cotton could not be harvested, and the large plantation holders would surely be in ruins. Though the owners of huge plantations did not amass to a majority in the South, they were the political leaders and drove the economy. For the economic and political success of both the South and the plantation owners, the institution of slavery had to continue.
Should delegates have compromised with southern states over the issue of slavery?
No. If the practice of slavery was in fact evil, then Lincoln had to hold to his view that slavery should not be expanded into the territories.

Southerners sidestepped this contradiction by claiming that the war was "about states' rights." But without slavery there would have been no Civil War.

Why is slavery so widely used in America?
Slavery had of course been a persistent and contradictory issue since the framing of the US Constitution, having been awkwardly written into it through numerous compromises. The reason 'why' was economic development. Without slavery, the agrarian culture of the southern states would have died out long before 1860. It's commonly taught in early grade school that cotton was king in the south at that time. But slavery was actually on the way out because of the economic forces associated with harvesting cotton---it was hand labor, it was slow and it was losing its profitability. Then at the turn of the 19th century, the Cotton Gin was invented which effectively increased the output efficiency of southern cotton causing the institution of southern slavery to rebound dramatically. Between 1830 to 1850 the output of cotton rose by a factor of 4 using the same slave labor base.
