First - Help! We've lost fifty percent of our export revenue (cotton).
Second - the sacred cause of the Union, for which our fathers made such sacrifices.
Lincoln believed the North had to fight in the Civil War primarily to preserve the Union and uphold the principles of democracy and equality. He perceived secession as a direct threat to the nation's integrity and stability, arguing that allowing Southern states to break away would set a dangerous precedent. Additionally, he aimed to maintain the federal government's authority and prevent the expansion of slavery, which he viewed as morally and politically detrimental to the nation. Ultimately, Lincoln saw military action as necessary to protect the future of the United States.
they were basically enemies. they died. -by Helen Wu-the best girl in the world.
They hated tariffs. All they were making was cotton. Tariffs increased the cost of imports.
The United States had been formed by a voluntary joining of states apex
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 never had any intention of secession. The reason the south seceded was because they wanted to separate themselves from the northern states and territories in order to pursue a government that they thought was more appropriate (more emphasis on states' rights and approval of slavery). The north's goal during the war was to keep unity in the country and try to get the southern states back in the Union. Secession of any northern states would have been the exact opposite of what they were aiming for.
Not to make you feel stupid but the Patriots and British were the Revolutionary War and the North and South was the Civil War, which are you talking about?

Strongly opposed.
I assume you mean the American Civil War. At the beginning, it was purely over secession. Later Lincoln turned it into a war against slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation, partly to make his own demoralised people feel that they were fighting a crusade, but more urgently to keep Britain and France from helping the Confederates (because it would make them look pro-slavery).
they felt hopeless...well idk about that...they either thought it would be a short war, hoped the north would accept secession, or northern border states didnt want to provide troops to fight against other slave states. it could be all three.
liked the secession because it ment separtaiton of a country that was bound to free the slaves sometime in the near future.
The South largely supported South Carolina's secession from the Union in 1860, viewing it as a bold stand for states' rights and the preservation of slavery, which they considered essential to their economy and way of life. Many Southern states saw South Carolina's actions as a catalyst for their own secession, believing it would lead to a stronger Southern coalition. This sentiment was fueled by fears of losing political power and the perceived threat from the anti-slavery stance of the Northern states. Overall, South Carolina's secession was celebrated by many in the South as a necessary step toward independence and self-determination.
