For the most part, the South was pro-slavery. When Lincoln came into Presidency, the South seceded, (or officially left) the US to create their own country because they were afraid Lincoln would stop the spread of slavery. This marked the beginning of the civil war.

In the Dred Scott case, the Supreme Court had declared that slavery was protected by the Constitution.

So the South felt it was acting lawfully, and that Congress was incorrect in trying to outlaw slavery.

The south needed slaves to work their plantations and essentially get them rich. The north on the other hand, had no need for slaves except possibly soldiers.

The question is missing a vital component: respond to what/whom? Without this vital component, the question is unanswerable.

Most were just downhearted and resigned to years of poverty.

Others were angry and defiant, and joined the KKK.
