The south legally left the union, or don't you know your constitution. Amendment 10 - "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." It seems to me that modern jurists have ignored this ammendment.
It was never about slavery. Historians know that, you should too. It was about the constitution and the right of the states.

Of course not. I suppose that's why slavery was by far the single most often mentioned reason for the rebellion.
