No, Amos, despite the current neo-confederate resurgence in popularity of the old 19th century lie, the Civil War was not fought over "states' rights" nor the right of self determination. [ Nor was the KKK was not a social club, on the off chance you believe that, as well.]

And "defense of self-determination in the face of overwhelming force"
cannot be divorced from the context in which that defense was, or is, mounted, and what it was mounted to defend.

If you consider that makes me a thorn in the bewtocks, I'm comfortable

By the way, you haven't commented upon the song "I'm A Good Old Wehrmacht Soldier".

Have a nice evening.
