Seceding states believed they had to leave the Union primarily to preserve their rights and way of life, particularly regarding the institution of slavery, which they viewed as essential to their economy and social order. They feared that the federal government, influenced by anti-slavery sentiments, would impose restrictions that threatened their autonomy. Additionally, many felt that their sovereignty was being undermined and that secession was their only means to protect their interests and maintain self-governance. The election of Abraham Lincoln, perceived as hostile to slavery, further fueled their desire to break away.
