Question:
What did southern states feel they have the right to do in civil war?
Answer:

The original thirteen colonies in America in the 1700's separated from the mother country in Europe by a vast ocean, were use to making many of their own decisions and ignoring quite a few of the rules imposed on them from abroad.

In fact, the original Constitution banned slavery, but Virginia would not accept it; and Massachusetts would not ratify the document without a Bill of Rights.
