Germany's claim was that they invaded Poland because Poland started the war. Pretty much the same claim you're making for the Confederacy.
Actually, it's more similar to the claim that North invaded the South because the South started the war by seceding.

The North would not have invaded the South if the South had not opened fire on Federal soldiers and Fort Sumter and issued letters of marque, allowing southern ship captains to capture U.S. flagged ships. Both actions are well recognized in the international community as acts of war.
