Why did the south want to separate from the south?

I assume you mean why they wanted to separate from the North? in any case, after the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the South felt threatened that they would have to give up the right to own slaves. There was also a concern of states rights, but primarily why they advocated states rights was so that they could ensure that they kept slaves. After the Presidential election of 1860, President Lincoln was elected. Most people in the South thought that Lincoln - and the Republican Party in general - were abolitionists. Seven states seceded because of Lincoln's election, the rest seceded later.
