If you do not know, read some history.

Whether or not you agree with the South’s complaints. They had complaints.

Unless you suggest that they decided on Secession because they were bored and had nothing better to do?

I've read a lot of history, but none of those historians have been blessed with, shall we say, your imaginative view of the period. So please tell be what oppression you believed they were fighting against.

No, they decided to rebel to protect their institution of slavery from what they saw as the threat against its expansion posed by the Lincoln administration's opposition to it. But that is hardly oppression.
