Many Southern supporters of secession based their arguments on several factors:1. The North and its tariffs were damaging the South's economy;

2. The Radical Republicans and president-elect Lincoln would try to undermine the institution of slavery;

3. Abolitionists in the North were seeking to disrupt the social order in the South with their radical views to end slavery at once in the United States;

4. Southerners believed that as new free states were added in the West, their representation in the US Congress would soon be marginalized;

5. Abraham Lincoln was not truthful about his statements about enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act; and

6. Secession was the best way to create a nation that the Founding Fathers and the Framers of the US Constitution intended to have.

What was the arguments for and against the secession from the Union?

Arguments for secession from the Union primarily centered around states' rights and the belief that individual states had the authority to govern themselves, particularly regarding the institution of slavery. Southern states felt their economic and social systems were threatened by Northern opposition to slavery and federal policies. Conversely, arguments against secession emphasized the preservation of the Union, the belief in a collective national identity, and the idea that secession violated the Constitution, undermining the legal framework of the United States. Ultimately, this conflict over secession was a key factor leading to the Civil War.
