Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States, attributed the South's secession to a perceived threat against their rights and way of life, particularly regarding states' rights and the institution of slavery. He argued that the election of Abraham Lincoln, who was seen as anti-slavery, forced Southern states to protect their interests and sovereignty. Davis believed that the federal government's overreach infringed upon the rights guaranteed to states under the Constitution, prompting their decision to secede.
