The Southern states sought to leave the U.S. to form their own country primarily due to their desire to maintain the institution of slavery, which they viewed as essential to their agricultural economy and way of life. They felt increasingly marginalized by the federal government's anti-slavery stance and policies, particularly in the wake of the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Additionally, issues of states' rights and the belief in the sovereignty of individual states further fueled their decision to secede. This culminated in the formation of the Confederate States of America.
