Colonists broke away from Great Britain primarily due to grievances over taxation without representation, as they were subjected to various taxes and laws imposed by the British Parliament without having any representatives in that body. Additionally, the desire for self-governance and the belief in Enlightenment ideals, such as liberty and individual rights, fueled their push for independence. The accumulation of restrictive policies and increasing control by the British government ultimately led to the desire for autonomy and the formation of a new nation.

The south wanted to do this because they liked slavery and the union didn't. The south then decided to brake away from the north.
Because Lincoln had won the 1860 election on a ticket of no new slave-states. So the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North at the expense of the South. They felt that their cotton wealth would be enough to support them if they broke away from the United States.
