Revolution is no more or less than an act of forced secession. You are merely using terms. We seceded from our country in the 1700's. America's first civil war was far more nasty than the second. With the night rider murders and people being burned in their homes. Especially in South Carolina where most people were loyalists. The Loyalists were the more affluent and established and pillars in the communities. And under the law they held the moral high ground. That war was also had a racial conflict element. With the blacks generally favoring the King and the Loyalists. And blacks fought openly for the British and worked for them building defenses. When they lost and started retreating there was a mad rush by blacks to get to NY and escape to England by ship and many, many did.

The right to revolution is a morally-derived. Are you going to say there was the moral basis for the Southern Democrats to revolt because they lost an election (which was their own fault)? 
What was the "train of abuses?" Slaveholders had gotten their way for a long time with the Dred Scott decision, Fugitive Slave acts, etc. They finally lost an election and decided they, owners of human chattel, were oppressed?
