By enacting laws or decrees without Congress, and by taking away the rights of states.

You are aware of regiments of BOTH that fought for the South. In answer to your question, because it is hard to immigrate to the South thru a BLOCKADE!

Long before the war, the vast majority of immigrants did not head to southern states.

How come?

Please tell me, what "laws or decrees without congress" or "taking away rights of states" occurred under the Buchanan administration that caused Texas to declare secession?

Probably because the South was primarily agricultural.
But as I said, there were lots of Irish & Germans in the South.

"Long before the war, the vast majority of immigrants did not head to southern states."

Source, please.

We are discussing Lincoln, and how he started the trend of out of control big Government. Please stick to the subject at hand.
