It gave them all the right to be equal as one.
States and rights was a very large factor contributing to the Civil War. With Lincoln becoming president and representing the North, the Southern states seceded, leading to a war. The state governments of the South argued, since the constitution and federal government was created by the states, the federal government had no right to stop from seceding. President Lincoln and other northerners disagreed and wanted to preserve the Union.
Is there any more to this question? I can’t help unless there is a full question.
