The Southern States had different opinions from the Northern States.
The Southern States wanted to keep
- Slavery
- State-Based Rule, not a Central Government
The Northern States wanted the opposite. Those were 2 MAIN reasons why the Southern States left. There were MANY other factors to this as well, such as the Missouri Compromise line, that rule was broken when the Northerners got California and other land that passed that line. Then there was also Bleeding Kansas which fueled both side's anger. Many slaves escaped into the Northern States to become free, and the Southerners passed laws that punished any Northerners that aided this process, the result was, tensions rose.
Overall, there was so many factors to the secession of the Southern States that you would have to spend quite a bit of time and you would have to analyze each occurrence and see which had the greatest impacts.
The two main that I found were
- Slaves
- South wanted more power to States, North wanted Central Government
Hope it was of use. Good luck!
Because they believed that since the earth was God’s crown jewel of creation, it should also be the center of the universe. Of course they were wrong, and this is a wonderful example of man following after his own will (it says explicitly in the Bible that the earth is not the center of the universe). Hope that answers your question!
The Thirteen Colonies began a rebellion against British rule in 1775 and proclaimed their independence in 1776 as the United States of America. The United States was formed as a result of the American Revolution when the thirteen American colonies revolted against the rule of Great Britain. After the war ended, the U.S. Constitution formed a new government. These thirteen colonies became the first 13 states as each ratified the Constitution.
