South Carolina seceded because they believed that the institution of slavery was in peril. I believe the Civil War was about states rights - that is, the states rights to maintain slavery. South Carolina was complaining about the northern states violating the Constitution by not enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
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.
only allow people who had not fought against the union to participate
Because they had pushed the US/Allies south and were approached by US/Allied forces for negotiations.
1) Disagreements over the American Mexican war. 2) The slave states disagreements with President Lincoln's attempt to limit slavery. 3) The southern state's beliefs in the State's rights of autonomy in the face of the ever increasing size of the Federal government.
I have no idea lol
yes, they seceded from the union as soon as they heard of Abe Lincoln's victory, they knew that if they didn't Abe (the president) would just take over them provent the slavery from ever happening.
No. North Carolina was Confederate, though not as aggressively as South Carolina. When Sherman crossed into NC, he didn't feel it necessary to conduct punitive raids. (In SC, he'd burned down the capital city, Columbia.)
there is not a legal age for babysitting it is up to the parents and what the feel comfortable with
They said that the USA was a voluntary assembly of states, and any of them could quit the Union at any time.

Because they thought the cotton revenues would be enough to support a new nation.
South Carolina disliked the fact that they would have to bear the problems of the government. The tariffs were used to raise money for the government. The tariff was an abomination amongst the people whom lived there. They believed that Jackson singled South Carolina out just to make John C. Calhoun a stronger Presidential candidate.
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was a symbolic gesture. It only freed the slaves in the states which had seceded from the union and were no longer under control of Lincoln's government. Lincoln was not a abolitionist and he had stressed the need to preserve the union as the main rationale for the War. The proclamation surely appealed to abolitionists in the North and assured them that winning the war would end slavery in the old slave states. As such it served to solidify the war effort. There may have been hope that a slave revolt would occur in the South or that the threat of such a revolt would demoralize the South.
He was for the Union, which is to say that he was for the North. As he was president, he would generally support his country. It's worth noting, though, that he didn't feel that the South was truly separated from the Union, but rather felt that they were in a state of rebellion.
No. Sherman was expecting a battle there, but the small Confederate army under Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina, where the Union troops wouild soon follow them. By this time, Sherman felt he had made his point in Georgia, and decided to spare the city from destruction. It was really South Carolina's turn to feel his anger, as it was the state that had started the war. Popular tradition also maintains that Sherman had once loved a girl from Savannah, and felt sentimental about the city - the subject of a recent novel.
All he wanted was the preservation of the Union. Here he is quoted saying so: "no north, no south, no east, no west, but the broad Union in all its might and strength past and present".
After he'd finished putting the boot into South Carolina in March 1865. But he did not feel the need to make the same kind of punitive raids on the Tarheel State, and in any case, the war was all but finished.
