Whether or not the oppression that led to the WBTS met his standard is just matter of opinion.

Which is the same as saying there's no standard at all.

There is a standard.

Controversies between states and the federal government are, per article 3 of the Constitution to be submitted for resolution to the Supreme Court.

Which the rebels didn’t do, as they knew they had no case. They didn’t want resolution, they wanted war.

And they got a war. And they lost it.
