I think you're right. If the south had been allowed to go off on it's own then there would have been a second war within a decade over who got what in the west.

Also the southern states united against the union to fight the civil war but it was always a coalition of convenience. I doubt the Confederacy would have lasted long after a southern victory. The states were far too independent minded and with it's dissolution would come even more opportunities for conflict.
