Solution
He declared war on the Southern states because:
- The Southern states wanted to break away (secede) from the United States and form their own separate country.
- The main reason they wanted to secede was to continue the practice of slavery, while Lincoln and the Northern states wanted to stop the spread of slavery.
- Lincoln believed that the Union must be preserved and that no state had the right to leave the United States on its own.
