Best Answer

The Confederate States were formed through a serious disagreement with the Federal Government over what was and was not the right of each state. The Southern portion of our country tended to believe that each State was a sovereign entity that had the right to do as it wished and the Federal Government's role was extremely limited to the defense of the group. At the time of the war each state printed their own money as an example.
Contrary to popular belief the concept of slavery, while an issue, was not the central issue. There were slave states in the North during the war. The civil war also did not end slavery. After the war ended, slavery was still legal until December of that year.
