Why did Jefferson Davis believe that Southern states had the right to secede from the Union, leading to the Civil War? Secession was specifically allowed in the Constitution.

President Abraham Lincoln had banned enslavement in the United States. It was their right to remove an unjust government. The Founding Fathers intended it to happen eventually.
