The elite planters in the south felt there way of life was being threatned by the changing times and the saw the north as the tangiable enboidment of this. Of course when your way of life depends on human subjugation it deserves to be extereminated.

And I would enjoy a link about this so called Northern secession, I am however not holding my breath

It is not a states right to deny the human rights that make a republic possible. It isn't even until 1964 that America can be considerd a republic in the truest sense



The issue is slavery
Ok, let me spell this out for you. States Rights is simply a tool if you will - a tool that can be used for any cause. During the civil war it was used for slavery, but during any part of time could be used for any issue. In our current day for instance, people are talking States Rights again, this time about the Health Care Bill. Let me guess, that has to do with Racial Supremacy and slavery, right?

Pardon me that I cannot provide you with a link, but it was in a college lecture that I learned about it (which means that you must take it as the gospel, as college professors can never be wrong).
I did find this on wiki though.
Note that it says that secession was often threatened.
