[Star Wars]Did the seperatists really need to fight?

Given there's a large group of independent systems not affiliated with the Republic was there any real problem with systems not being a part of the republic?

They could have seceded peacefully, sure. But that wasn't the point of their existence. They were *meant* to egg on the Republic, and were violent even before the war started. Remember that *Attack of the Clones* **starts** with an attempted assassination perpetrated by the Separatists.
