I've considered the War in this way. An abused wife, who is no angel herself, chooses to leave her abusive husband. The abusive husband, being stronger than the wife, and after inflicting grievious injury, forces her to return home to continued abuse.
Good point, let's do it again.

Fact is that southerners had controlled the federal government for decades. When free and fair elections threatened that control, they tried to bolt.
