Just read http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Skyrim's_Rule, and it appears Skyrim's unrest and irritation with the empire did not come from Ulfric or the Stormcloaks.

But instead from the empire meddling in Skyrim in general and in the Moot in particular, appointing socalled Solitude puppets, interesting and obvious in hindsight.
