No, Calhoun was an advocate for the growth and expansion of the Union.
He brought back the idea of nullification by a state - of a federal law, following the passage of the Tariff of 1828. Because the tariff was detrimental to the wellbeing of the state, he believed the state had the right to nullification. Secession was not an idea proposed in the South Carolina Exposition and Protest (which stated the Doctrine of Nullification).

Why did Andrew Jackson hate John Calhoun?
I am not sure that he hated Calhoun, but they became bitter political enemies when Calhoun became the champion of nullification- the right of a state to nullify, i.e. refuse to obey any law they thought was wrong. Of course, the next step would be to secede from the union if the federal government insisted on trying to enforce the nullified law. Calhoun wanted to be the next President and so did what he could to make Jackson's party look bad. It did not help matters when Calhoun's wife led the fight to banish Peggy Eaton from Washington society after Jackson stood up for her.

What was the South's goal at the start of the civil war?
The South (confederacy)'s goal at the start of the civil war was actually not much, other than to secede from the United States. They didn't technically want to start a war, but the North (union) decided that they didn't want the South seceding and therefore declared "war". The south wanted to secede because the Union, aka the United States before the war, had passed anti-slavery laws and the South wanted to keep them.
