I don't pay much attention to the history of the battles. They do not speak to the moral and legal issues surrounding the moral and legal right to leave a Union voluntarily joined.

The civil war was about might making right. Not about objective right.

Confederates clearly believed they had both the right and might to win a war against the United States.
Turned out they were wrong about both.
