At-will state so not sure how much of this is unlawful, if at all

For the past couple of weeks my bosses have singled me out as a sort of troublemaker instigator… for telling people that take issue with friendly coworkers to leave them alone. Yup. Essentially some new coworkers had been telling people to shut up. Mind you this is a job where socializing doesn’t interfere with anything. So I told them to leave them alone.

Now today I’m told I was fired for job abandonment. I read the employee handbook and what I did yesterday seems closest to early departure, of which two can get you terminated. Seeing as it was my first, can they even fire me? I showed up to my scheduled shift so I don’t see how it constitutes job abandonment
