You state that “the Declaration is legally superior to the Constitution”. Exactly which orifice or your body did you pull this legal doctrine out of? If you could show me where (anywhere) the US Supreme Court made this ruling, I would be really (really) appreciative.
I will tell you why the colonies had the right to leave Great Britain. They won. In an earlier age it would have been said that, by winning, they had God’s grace. The CSA, on the other hand, lost.
You aren't mocking me, you are mocking the Declaration which cites the authority of God and Nature. You don't want to grasp this concept because it's contrary to what you wish to believe.

They didn't win. George III let them go. Had he the same mindset as Abraham Lincoln, you'd be singing God Save the Queen today.
You're argument "If you want independence... Win." is utterly bogus and without merit. Independence was illegal under the Laws of Britain, but it was adopted by our nation as the foundation of our government.
There might have been need of a war with Britain, but there never should have been a need for a war with a country that was created by citing a God given right to leave.
