Afterall, they plotted to violently overthrow parts of the United States too, didn't they?

That's a curious attempt at being inflamatory. The CSA was formed out of the duly elected governments of its component states acting through the legislative process. In virtually every single one of those states the voters themselves had a direct role in picking delegates to the conventions where secession was decided. In Texas, Virginia, and Tennessee it was even put to a statewide referendum. So unless you think that the people themselves should have no right to determine the course of their states through their own government institutions, the CSA didn't try to overthrow anything.

Their majorities decided to overthrow the constitutional nation they were in, for the territories they held as States. Na ah. Inflammatory is in the eye of the beholder and in the nation's eye, the Confederates reason (preserving the "peace" of owning and using humans as semi-human animals) just wasn't good enough.

What a hoot, to celebrate that.
