Some Southerners opposed the Civil War due to concerns about the economic impact, fearing that a prolonged conflict would devastate their agrarian economy and disrupt trade. Additionally, many believed in the principle of states' rights, arguing that the federal government should not infringe upon their sovereignty and the ability to govern their own affairs, including the institution of slavery.
