Let's see, Federal selective enforcement of laws, tariffs unjustly imposed, Northern states interfering with the rights of other states.....

It was the states that selectively enforced the Fugitive Slave Act, not the Federal government, so you can hardly blame Washington for that. Tariffs were unjust, but since the North paid 95% of them then the injustice fell on them and not the south. Surely you aren't complaining about that? And other than the perceived threat to the institution of slavery what other interference was there for the south to complain about?
