I would've supported the Union, but in a more limited war. The Confederacy attacked the Union. As despicable and disgusting as its motives were and the regime was, I do believe the Confederacy had a right to secede. It did not, however, have a right to attack the remaining United States of America. The Union had every right to defend its sovereign territory.
Insofar as the post-war aftermath goes, I would have been firmly in the Radical Republican camp.
