But noted that the natives does not want to live under Nordic rule as much as the Stormcloaks does not want to live under the current Empire.

Yes, but the Stormcloaks have actual reasons to hate the empire as they outlawed the worship of Talos and the empire has become weak. The Reachmen have never been oppressed by the Nords (except when they break away of course) yet they rebel anyways. Obviously not the normal mind-your-own-business Nords, but propagandic Nords such as Igmund and Thonar. The Markarth Jarl outlawed the Old Gods, and had the Silver-Bloods arrested some Reachmen like Odvan for something they didn't do, even arrested the Dragonborn for trying to solve the Forsworn conspiracy.

I find it ironic that they gave Solstheim to the Dunmer but not the Reach for the native Reachmen, sound like political crap.
