Southerners valued states' rights and aspired to a genteel, ordered society guided by the aristocratic code of the gentleman planter and slaveholder. They viewed northerners as "greasy mechanics, filthy operatives, small-fisted farmers, and moonstruck theorists." Northerners feared the southerners wished to deny opportunities for free labor and southerners feared northerners would destroy their way of life.
