Yes, the Civil War was a power grab, but particular article I addressed tries to make the case that it was about federal power even in the Revolutionary War. His Civil War piece is likely similar, but I can't be bothered to actually check given his writing style.
I think a strong federal government is important to keep out criminal organizations, but it's a fine balancing act to make sure it isn't a criminal organization in itself. Some crime is inevitable. Some corruption is inevitable. The key is finding the right amount of government that keeps both of these low.
