The South, particularly during the American Civil War era, believed in states' rights, which emphasized the autonomy and sovereignty of individual states over the federal government. They also believed in the right to own slaves as a fundamental aspect of their economy and way of life. Additionally, the South believed in the right to secede from the Union, viewing it as a necessary check on federal power and a way to preserve their perceived way of life.

If you believe in equal rights, the South was. If you believe in justice, the North was. Many people think that was on slavery. It wasn't! It started when the South didn't like state's rights and when they decided they wanted to secede from the U.S.

How did the union feel when South Carolina seceded?

South Carolina seceded because they believed that the institution of slavery was in peril. I believe the Civil War was about states rights - that is, the states rights to maintain slavery. South Carolina was complaining about the northern states violating the Constitution by not enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
