You said:

"The southern rebellion was in response to what they saw as a threat to their right of self-determination, their state sovereignty, and the relationship of federal to state government, as well as their property rights, and their right to emigrate to the Territories and take their property with them."

I would like to know what gave them a right to take slaves into the territories.
