Answer:

Another issue in the Civil War was the Southerners believed in States' rights and the right to leaver the union.

Step-by-step explanation:

There has never been a civil war in the United States of America. What happened was a secession war. The difference is great. In a civil war, two or more rival groups vie for control of a country. In the American case, the southern states did not fight because they wanted to dominate the country; they fought because they wanted to separate from the country. The Southerners did not aim to command the Union in Washington; their real desire was to separate from the Union because they believed and had dossiers that proved the supremacy of their states.

Answers:
States' rights and Union.

Step-by-step explanation:
The South believed in the supremacy of the state and believed that the state should have the right to make decisions for their people, not the federal government.
As a result they believed the states had a contract with the federal government and if the federal government became a tyranny the states could leave the contract and therefore leave the Union.
The critical issue under this thinking was states could determine their own economy and the federal government could not interfere with states economic policy.
In the case of the South, it was an issue over the existence of slavery as a form of economic labor.
