Answer 2

When Lincoln became president, the Southern states seceded, and this lead to a war. South argued that since the Constitution and federal government was created by the states, the federal government had no right to stop states from seceding. Other northerners disagreed and wanted to preserve the Union by stopping states from seceding. After the war, the South disagreed on a federal government. They wanted to rule the area independantly.
