the southern states had a strong belef in States' rights and thought each state had the soverign right to manage its own affairs. They did not want to follow orders from any other state or president Lincoln,

Upon being pressed to follow orders from Lincoln, many southern states decided to secede from the union, formed the Confederate State of America, which started the civil war. First shot was fired from Ft. Sumter at Charleston, called the "shot heard around the world," and thus started the war.,
