"So what was their beef?" What was the beef in them leaving if they had such control then? The South wanted out. If you're going to ask me what specific cause each person wanted out FOR I couldn't say. Aside from freedom from the Fed, I have no answer. And I'm afraid noone can have an answer to it.

If the South had no justification for revolution, they had no right to leave a Union they had agreed to.

I own a gun. Does that make me "justified" since I plan on not using it to shoot someone?

And BTW, I THOUGHT I made it clear that *I* cannot speak for those who came before me. And that noone else can. Liberty in itself is "justification" whether you agree with the definition or not.

According to King George, we had "no justification" for leaving their ownership in the first place. They gave us seat in their Parliment, as we asked. Does that mean that we shouldn't have left colony status?
