Answer:
1. Individual states' rights
2. Low tariffs
3. Secession
Explanation:
1. The Confederacy felt that each state should have the right to create their own laws and regulations. They felt that the federal government was too strong and was acting unfairly towards the southern states.
2. The South produced many crops such as cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. Foreign trade was crucial to the southern economy, so they favored low tariffs to keep foriegn goods cheap and to foster trade with other countries.
3. The Confederacy felt that it had the right to secede, or leave, the United States to form their own nation. They felt that the northern states had treated them unfairly by their imposition of high tariffs and opposition to slavery, therefore, it was time to create their own country.
Reconstruction is largely seen as a failure, and many historians believe this was primarily because the South for so long had been dependent on slaves that in one swift motion the South's entire livelihood shifted. This dramatic shift was too much for the Southerners to absorb at once, and harsh Jim Crow laws sprang up.
