The Senators ran away. They had no right to take the rest of the state with them. If your wife runs away, she may indeed have the legal authority to do so. If she steals the cars, empties the gun safe and cleans out the bank accounts, those are criminal acts.

That is why there are courts. In disputes between the states and the federal government, the court is the Supreme Court. The rebels did not file suit for redress of grievance, rather, they began with an illegal conspiracy, then progressed to stealing weapons from federal forts, and all the fun that thus ensued. Eventually they got to the point where they were firing on US soldiers performing their duty. At that point, all honest people knew who was in the wrong. Some through cowardice, thought that they would get away with it. Others, through cowardice, thought by helping them, they could avoid war.
