Absolutely correct.

And note, during the WBTS, all the South was trying to do was the same thing that the 13 colonies, several of them in the South, had done all those years before.

The South had no proplem using the Federal club over state sovereignty in the North, until after they lost control of the Federal government. The Fugitive Slave Act had no respect for state borders!

Have you ever considered who made the first act of aggression in both those wars? Have you ever considered how the list of British abuses against the colonists compares to the list of grievances listed by the South?
