The South strongly believed in the principle of states' rights, viewing it as a safeguard against federal overreach and a means to protect their interests, particularly regarding slavery and economic autonomy. Many Southern leaders argued that individual states should have the authority to govern themselves without interference from the federal government. This belief was a driving force behind their resistance to federal policies they perceived as threatening to their way of life. Ultimately, the emphasis on states' rights contributed to the tensions that led to the Civil War.

Could democracy have survived in the Confederacy?
Yes, democracy could have survived. The civil war was about ideology as much as anything else. While states rights was the war cry of the south, they wanted states rights so that they could decide for themselves if they could keep slavery. Northern states pretty much agreed that slavery was evil and southern states didn't see how they could run their farms without slaves. Personally, I think both sides were wrong. The north was wrong to feel that they could force that kind of law on the south. The south was wrong to want to keep slavery. The loss of a couple specific states rights has led to further loss of states rights. Now about the only rights that a state has is to determine the color of their license plates. Even then, the Feds don't want them to look too much like someone else's.

Did the north or south people think that the federal government should not be able to make final decisions about states affairs?
States' rights were very important to the South, who believed that the fed government definitely should NOT be able to finalize decisions about states' affairs. Each state is soverign and should have the right to make its own decisions in regard to its own affairs. The refusal of the union to recognize these rights led indirectly to the War between the States, 1861-1865.
