The US Civil War was at least partly about separatism.

True, but the US was hardly even partly democratic at the time (except on

Less democratic, yes. Less free (at least in the free states anyway)?
Arguable.

  Sure the free states were more free, if you were a white male (and a
landowner, IIRC).
  But in terms of restrictive laws, I suppose you're correct.
