Yes, democracy could have survived. The civil war was about ideology as much as anything else. While states rights was the war cry of the south, they wanted states rights so that they could decide for themselves if they could keep slavery. Northern states pretty much agreed that slavery was evil and southern states didn't see how they could run their farms without slaves. Personally, I think both sides were wrong. The north was wrong to feel that they could force that kind of law on the south. The south was wrong to want to keep slavery. The loss of a couple specific states rights has led to further loss of states rights. Now about the only rights that a state has is to determine the color of their license plates. Even then, the Feds don't want them to look too much like someone else's.

Before the Civil War, a dispute arose between the north and the south concerning states' rights. In South Carolina, Sen. John C Calhoun was a vocal spokesman for the South on this issue.
The South, particularly during the American Civil War era, believed in states' rights, which emphasized the autonomy and sovereignty of individual states over the federal government. They also believed in the right to own slaves as a fundamental aspect of their economy and way of life. Additionally, the South believed in the right to secede from the Union, viewing it as a necessary check on federal power and a way to preserve their perceived way of life.
