The Georgia governor’s order is an example of sectionalism. Sectionalism refers to the prioritization of the interests of a particular region (in this case, Georgia) over the broader interests of the country or confederation.
In the text, you read this about states' rights in the Confederacy:
The South also had political problems. The Confederate constitution favored states' rights and limited the authority of the central government. As a result, the Confederate government often found it difficult to get things done. On one occasion, for example, the governor of Georgia insisted that only Georgian officers should command Georgian troops.
