The Union government, the US Government, believed in the idea that the Federal government was meant to be stronger than the individual state governments. What I mean by this is that the Federal Governemt could pass laws that the states had to recognize and abide by. The Confederate Government believed that the individual state governments were set up to be stronger than the federal government. They felt that the state governments were capable of passing laws and overseing their states. The federal government laws could therefore be overturned by the state governments if they felt that those laws interfered with the states system. They saw the federal government as merely a form of protection from invasion by other countries and a place where the states could convene and discuss issues. Not a place to pass laws that might hinder a states way of conducting business. A perfect exaple of this, and oneif the causes of secession and the Civil War was the passing of tariffs by the federal government on the southern states exports of cotton to the north and to Great Britain. These tariffs would greatly affect the south. They had been exporting cotton for years, and now they were to be taxed for doing it. Not to mention that the very place the cotton was being shipped to, the north, was the place where the federal government that passed these tariffs was located. This infuriated the south and was one of several causes for the beginning of secession and eventually war.
