They had representation in the Congress to deal with Tariff issues.
The Declaration of Independence recognized the natural right of rebellion against LEGITIMATE dangers, not imaginary ones.
What you are advocating is anarchy.
And do you think the Confederate States would have allowed one of their States just to leave the Confederacy if it 'felt like it'?
So, the only people who actually had a right to rebel under the principals of the Declaration of Independence and natural law were the SLAVES, NOT THE SLAVE OWNERS.
They had every right to leave.

You don't grasp that two wolves and a sheep thing do you? 75% of the US Exports in 1860 were Southern Agriculture Products. Virtually all the trade flowed through New York which took a sizable cut out of every transaction. They had wangled laws which made it difficult for the European nations to trade directly with the South.
New England was controlling trade form both directions, and they were getting very substantial cuts on the transactions both ways.
The Declaration of Independence recognized the natural right of rebellion against LEGITIMATE dangers, not imaginary ones.
I think you are too ignorant of History to understand the dangers which that New England Robber Barons Cabal represented for the Southern States. They basically controlled all trade, and they skimmed a cut off of the vast bulk of the transactions.
Just how do you suppose New York got so wealthy? The Dominant market in Europe was for Cotton and Tobacco. The Rest of the Nation's products only represented 25% of all US Exports.
What you are advocating is anarchy.
No, what we have now is anarchy, what I am advocating is consistency with the founding principles of this Nation; That people have a right to be free and independent if they wish.
So, the only people who actually had a right to rebel under the principals of the Declaration of Independence and natural law were the SLAVES, NOT THE SLAVE OWNERS.
Yes, I'm sure that's what all the Founders were thinking when they signed that document. Are you some sort of loon? Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to assert that Slave owning founders intended to free the slaves with the Declaration of Independence?
That is "transgender" logic. It makes as much sense as a man thinking he's a woman and wanting everyone else to go along with the delusion.
