What principle did South Carolina use to justify secession at the start of the civil war?

South Carolina justified its secession from the Union by invoking the principle of states' rights, arguing that the Constitution was a compact among sovereign states. They contended that states had the right to withdraw from the Union if they believed their rights were being violated, particularly in relation to slavery. This belief was rooted in the idea that the federal government was overstepping its authority, particularly with anti-slavery legislation. South Carolina's secession was also motivated by the election of Abraham Lincoln, whom they viewed as a threat to their way of life and economic interests.
