” As long as the South was dominant in running the Federal government, they were happy”
When exactly was that??
“It was only when they lost the election of 1860 that they rebelled.”
You don’t know history. Seriously, read a book, and not a public school book. A real book on history.

Tariffs were said to be the complaint of the southern states but th e laws were changed in favor of the south before Lincoln’s election.
When the border states refused to join their complaint was lost.
They chose war
“Tariffs were said to be the complaint of the southern states but th e laws were changed in favor of the south before Lincoln’s election.”
The tariff played a role in secession for South Carolina and Georgia but I don’t think it was the main issue by any stretch of the imagination. However your claim that the law was changed in favor of the South before Lincoln’s election has no basis in fact.
The 1857 tariff had been a low tariff. Lincoln ran on the platform of a high tariff. The high Morrill Tariff, which Lincoln supported, was signed into law by James Buchanan after Lincoln had won the election but before he took office.
