Union

South sympathizers can say it was for states rights, but really it was about slavery. Read the secession documents of the south. Half of them give their reasons why, and they say it was to preserve slavery. Some cite the new administration's (Lincoln's) opposition to slavery. Very interesting. Definitely look at primary documents.

Oh and I live in the north.

And I'm Republican.

Yankee and proud!

Away down South in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Right away! Come away! Right away! Right away, come away!
Where cotton's king and men are chattles,
Union boys will win the battles, right away!
Come away! Right away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
(Back to singing)
I wish I was in Baltimore,
I'd make secession traitors roar right away!
Come away! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll put the traitors all to route,
I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out,
Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away! Away!We'll all go down to Dixie!
(Continue singing)
O may our Stars and Stripes still wave forever roar the
Free and brave! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
And let our motto forever be for Union and for
Liberty, right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away, away, !
We'll all go down to Dixie! Away, away, we'll all go down...

I'd try (and probably fail) to negotiate a deal where the South secedes, but they can't have slaves.
