Whether or not it was a good thing that the south seceded from the union remains to be acknowledged by the government. The southern confederates believed obviously and somewhat recklessly that it was a good thing, while the union did not. This is basically why the civil war was fought.
I suppose, looking at it from the southerner's side, it was good, and I can see a point behind it. They fought for their money, for what they earned. The very root of their survival-- the slaves. The slaves that toiled, the slaves that brought in their hands the very gold and money they use to carry on their lives. So, I trust you see their point of view.
The union is correct as well. It is not good for humanity to treat other humans with feelings and senses and families just like themselves to be torn apart and used as rags and beaten as dogs and put to work as merely that-- slaves. This is why they fought. It is not nearly corteous to treat others as mere animals, is it?

Did the Emancipation Proclamation offer to let the slave states back in the union?
No, it stated that all slaves held in the rebellious states were emancipated (freed) from their plantations. Of course, since the states were in rebellion, it did not help the slaves all that much. However, since Lincoln was smart, he did not want to emancipate slaves in the border slave states that had not yet seceded from the Union, knowing that if he did, they would leave. This would take much of the supplies and much needed population that they would require for the war. It was merely a document written to let the South know that once the Union gained control again, they meant business; slavery was out of the question. For good.
What plagued the Union army in the first two years of the US Civil War?
Many people new to US Civil War history are sometimes puzzled as to why the war took so long for the Union to finalize. On paper, the Union's vast resources almost made a Southern victory impossible. The problem lay with the Union's military organization. It was "vacant" in a manner of speaking. During the first two years of the war, the Union army was diminished by short term enlistments, desertion and sickness. For the Union's sake, it was a good thing that the South was so vastly inferior to the Union, once again on "paper". It's clear that if the South could have convinced Missouri and Kentucky to enter the Confederacy, the outcome of the rebellion might have been different.

No. Tyler was never truly a traitor. He was loyal to his state of Virginia and remained loyal when the state seceded from the federal union. Many people believed that states joined the union voluntarily and so could leave the union if they disagreed with the course the union was taking. Virginia and 12 others states seceded and formed a new country, the Confederate States of America . The Civil War broke out and some of the people who were against the confederacy called Tyler and other Southerners traitors. He was not a good president, but being a traitor was not his problem.
