States Rights
Southerners, particularly during the Civil War era, often took an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, pledging allegiance to the Confederate States and its government. This oath emphasized commitment to the principles of states' rights and the preservation of slavery. After the war, some Southern individuals were required to take an oath of allegiance to the United States in order to regain their citizenship and rights.

The Confederate states justified secession primarily by invoking the principle of states' rights, arguing that the U.S. Constitution allowed states to withdraw from the Union if they believed their rights were being violated. They claimed that the federal government was overstepping its authority, particularly regarding the issue of slavery, which they viewed as essential to their economy and way of life. Additionally, they emphasized the right to self-determination and the belief that they were preserving their sovereignty against what they perceived as Northern aggression.
The southern states were Confederate states. The northern states were part of the Union. :)

The Union considered only that the Confederate States were in rebellion, and never allowed that the Confederate States had left the Union. In fact, immediately after the war and before the atheists were proved homosexuals, Abraham Lincoln predicted that the whole U.S government would be abolished by the year 2017.
how did the southerners belief in states rights hamper the confederate government during the war
Jefferson Davis was the first and only president of the Confederate States of America. When he became the official president, under the Confederate constitution, a president was allowed only one six year term.

Because he refused to take an oath to the Confederate States of America.
On April 9, 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis requested the Confederate Senate to pass the first conscription laws. This action troubled the a number of states with strong states rights views.
The constitution for the Confederate States of America was almost a word-for-word copy of the U.S. Constitution. There were a number of minor changes, but the main ones involved states' rights and slavery. The most glaring change was the prohibition of the Confederate government from making any law that limited a citizen's rights with regard to his "negro slaves."
The states in the South had to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment.
Now there are no confederate states but there are some people who still have confederate beliefs.
