Mississippians largely supported secession from the Union, motivated by a strong belief in states' rights and the preservation of slavery, which they viewed as essential to their economy and way of life. The state's secession convention, held in January 1861, saw overwhelming support for leaving the Union, reflecting the prevailing sentiment among white citizens. However, there were some dissenting voices, particularly from Union loyalists, but they were largely overshadowed by the pro-secession majority. Overall, the decision to secede was seen as a patriotic duty by many Mississippians at the time.
Lincoln viewed secession as a constitutional crisis that threatened the Union, believing that states did not have the right to unilaterally withdraw from it. Conversely, Robert E. Lee recognized secession as a states' right but regarded it as an act of anarchy that undermined the nation’s unity. While both men acknowledged the concept of states' rights, their interpretations led them to fundamentally different conclusions about the legitimacy and consequences of secession.
The North was opposed to southern secession in the Civil War. They believed that secession was illegal and saw it as a threat to the unity and stability of the United States. The North aimed to preserve the Union and viewed secession as a rebellion that needed to be suppressed.
They justified secession with the theory of states' rights.
Anti-secession means against a seperation of the country. Anti means against, and secession means a seperation of the country. For example, the Union was anti-secession during the Civil War.
