The war was about the rights of states that willingly agreed to join a union - their right to dissolve their membership in that union.

What about the states that agreed to let them in? Don't they have a say in the matter?

Yes, and I seem to recall that Texas, as a condition to join
The Union, required a clause giving them the specific right
to withdraw from The Union if they determined that it was within their best interests.
