What were the main causes of the American Civil War?

I have -
Slavery
States rights v.s. federal law
Economic issues (tariffs)
Westward expansion
Election of Abraham Lincoln

Can you help me elaborate some of these points? I have to pick three main ones to write an essay on.

Thanks for your help!
