Some Southern states declared the cause was slavery (by which they meant a whole lot of things that had nothing to do with slaves, as we think of them). Other states, such as Virginia, seceded because they were enraged and disgusted by the behavior of the Lincoln government.
there are more things now
The people of the United States are protected from their government by the Bill of Rights. It lists the things that the government is NOT allowed to do.
According to the Bill of Rights, the States have as much power as the federal government, just over different things. Certain things are governed only by the states (marriage, education, etc) while other things can only be controlled by the federal government (coining money, going to war, etc). Hope this helps!
The Southern States did not secede until 1860 due to the work of Henry Clay, "The Great Compromiser". His efforts included things like the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The US Civil War was about many things. The politicians of the Northern states and the Southern states disagreed on issues such as slavery, tariffs, treaties, etc. The Southern states decided they could no longer work with the Northern states, and announced they were leaving the Union. The Northern states told them they could not leave (Secede). The Southern states decided to kick the Union military out of the South, and attacked Ft. Sumter in South Carolina. Game on.

Your question actually states the reason because there are things that they have to share. We have a national highway system and this is the United States not a state by state of little countries . The federal government is the government for all people.
the flag and the United States of America.
the southern boundry was claimed because it has richer soil and a better climate to grow things.
