Basically it was a States Rights issue. The essential question was if a state had the right to keep slavery when the federal government said that slavery was illegal. The south was convinced that Lincoln would outlaw slavery so they left the union instead of waiting for him to pass a law. The issues of state rights and federal law still is active today. Several states have passed laws that were against Federal Laws or hampers a law in some form.
