Why is the united states considered a republic rather than a direct democracy?

The United States is a representative democracy, AKA republic, because the citizens do not vote directly on laws. Rather, they elect representatives (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to vote on laws for them. If it were a direct democracy, every law would be voted on by anyone who cared to.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
