Seceding from the Union??
Prior to the attack on Ft. Sumter in 1861, many northerners were willing to allow the Southern states to secede. At that point, factions from both the north and south demanded military action and Lincoln called 75,000 volunteers into action.

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.
The Union soldiers defeated the Confederate soldiers. The southern states surrendered and the northern states put many sanctions on the southern states after the war.
