I believe that the U.S. Government had no right to prevent the southern states from seceding. While, arguably, the southern states had entered into a "contract" in joining the union, I think there is a legitimate question concerning who breached that contract first, the north or the south. A good argument can be made that the north tried to change the terms of this contract after the fact, and that therefore the south was free of any obligations to honor the contract. However, this doesn't change the fact that, but for the issue of slavery, there would have been no dispute.
