The South wanted to join the Civil War primarily to defend its way of life, which was heavily reliant on slavery and agriculture. Southern states believed that their rights to govern themselves and maintain the institution of slavery were being threatened by the growing anti-slavery sentiment in the North. Additionally, many Southerners felt a strong sense of regional identity and pride, leading them to fight for what they perceived as their sovereignty and independence. The culmination of these factors ultimately led to the secession of Southern states and their participation in the conflict.
