Once the Southern states had formed the Confederate States of America, it became clear that the USA, under President Lincoln would use armed force to end the rebellion. As the South wanted to be free of the Union, the only way to accomplish this was to fight invading Northern forces.

∙ 7y agoThe Southerners fought the US Civil War because they thought that the Northern states were oppressing them with taxes and unnecessary laws. Slavery was also a big issue, they wanted to keep slaves because there entire work force was based on it. The Northerners wanted to abolish slave trade, and confine it to the South. The only way for the South to keep its economy and social elements intact, was, for many Southerners , to fight Union armies seeking to end the Southern rebellion.

Why did civil war pensions cause a problem for the US treasury?
Not to be confused with the Vietnam War, because that was not a civil war (two separate nations fought that war). The US Civil War involved strictly Americans (Northerners vs Southerners); was Congress to pay both adversaries, both Northerners & Southerners? When the Southerners were actually committing treason by attacking their own US Government? Thus the official name of the American Civil War..."The War of the Rebellion" (Rebellion against the US Government). Thus, the US Congress had to either pay just the Northerners (Federal, Union, Yankee Armies, US Army, US Navy, etc.) or both...THEY WERE BOTH AMERICANS. This may have caused "a problem" for the US treasury department.
