They never really did. The North won the Civil war, but most likely the country was in a secession like state for months after the war ended. This can possibly be a way the Southern sates justified secession.

Southerners most commonly justified secession by bringing up perceived violations of states' rights by the federal government and irreconcilable differences on the issue of slavery. The actual causes for the climate that drove southerners to secede were numerous, but the above two were the most commonly mentioned.

How did the north feel about southern secession in the civil war?

The North was opposed to southern secession in the Civil War. They believed that secession was illegal and saw it as a threat to the unity and stability of the United States. The North aimed to preserve the Union and viewed secession as a rebellion that needed to be suppressed.


Why did the north feel it was unnecessary for secession?

The north never had any intention of secession. The reason the south seceded was because they wanted to separate themselves from the northern states and territories in order to pursue a government that they thought was more appropriate (more emphasis on states' rights and approval of slavery). The north's goal during the war was to keep unity in the country and try to get the southern states back in the Union. Secession of any northern states would have been the exact opposite of what they were aiming for.
