Why did the Southern States of the U.S. seceded?
I know the main focus was slavery and the fact that Lincoln didn't win in a single Southern State, but was there more to it than that?
Could Americans please elaborate?

Many Southerners felt that their way of was being threatened. They wanted to secede to allow the North to do as it wanted without it affecting the South, and to protect their culture. Honestly, many of the men that fought for the South never owned any slaves. [/quote]Sure, the men who fought in the war may haven't but many did own slaves in the south, to say that slavery wasn't the main cause for the South to leave the Union is.. political-incorrect. [/quote] while that's true it did play an important role later on in the war, thats why it's so popular right now
