Refer to the idea that U.S. states possess certain rights and political powers in the politics of the United States and constitutional law. These rights are guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution under the United States Bill of Rights. The states rights concept is usually used to defend a state law that he Federal government of the United States seeks to override, or a perceived violation of the bounds of federal authority.

Over the fallowing decades another dispute over states rights moved to the forefront. The issue of slavery polarized the Union with the principles espoused by Thomas Jefferson often being cited by both anti slavery Northerners and secessionists on the debates that ultimately led to the American Civil War.


 * South**

Most of the fighting during the Civil War took place on Southern soil. In part, this was the result of the war strategies of both sides. To win the war, the South had only to survive. On the other hand for the North to win the Union had to be restored. Thus, Union forces had to conquer the South in order to win the war. War action around their homes created many hardships for Southerners. 4:30a.m. on April 12, 1861 was the begining of the battle of Fort Sumter. It was a three day battle.
