Because places by their second names already exsisted. Like 'York'. It already was in England, so they named it "new" york. same with Hampshire, jersey, Mexico, etc.

Why did some southern states start a new country?

Some Southern States in the United States (pre-civil war era) wanted to start a new country because the North wouldn't allow slavery and was pushing the anti-slavery concept on the South. So, if the Southern states became a new country, the North couldn't tell them what to do. Of course, they never did actually start a new country because the secession of some states was unreasonable and not justified (according to the North).
