What was more responsible for the onset of war in the US the institution of slavery or the beliefs that states had the right to secede from the union?
It was the second one. The Confederates reasoned that the Union was a collection of states that had joined it voluntarily, and could secede equally voluntarily. People like to claim that the war was caused by slavery. But they should ask themselves why Lincoln felt it necessary to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. In mid-war, he had to turn it into a crusade against slavery, to shame the British and French out of helping the South. That is the surest sign that slavery was not the original cause of the war.
What did Southern states claim would make them secede from the Union?
Southern states claimed that their right to own slaves was being threatened by the federal government, particularly with the election of Abraham Lincoln as president. They believed secession was necessary to preserve their economic and social system based on slavery.
What were the arguments Southerners used to claim that they had the right to secede?
1. The federal government of the United States did not have the right to impose an anti-slavery law. Whether a state wanted to allow or disallow slavery should be decided by the state - not the federal government.2. The states had created the union by voluntarily agreeing to join and create the United States. The states could just as easily nullify their agreement.3. The imposition of tariffs on goods imported from England were aimed at protecting Northern manufacturers.

How can the confederates morally justify the Civil War given their reason?
They could always claim that they didn't want a war. They just wanted the right to secede. Any war would have to be declared by the Union - though in practice, Lincoln could not do this without appearing to recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. That is why the Civil War had no official beginning, and no official end.
