How did the southern states justify their decision to secede from the union?
They where frustrated with state rights because at the beginning states had less state rights then they do now. One big deal was slavery. It wasn’t the main deal. They left but with a great general, Robert E. Lee. But his rival, Ulysses S. Grant, from military school joined the north. His plan of attack was to keep throwing men at Lee until Lee couldn’t get anymore reforcements. But then again the south couldn’t justify it but because of this civil war state’s got more rights.
