Florida Declaration

Last and not least it has been proclaimed that the election of a President is an authoritative approval of all the principles avowed by the person elected and by the party convention which nominated him. Although that election is made by little more than one third of the votes given. But however large the majority may have been to recognize such a principle is to announce a revolution in the government and to substitute an aggregate popular majority for the written constitution without which no single state would have voted its adoption not forming in truth a federal union but a consolidated despotism that worst of despotisms that of an unrestricted sectional and hostile majority, we do not intend to be misunderstood, we do not controvert the right of a majority to govern within the grant of powers in the Constitution.

cowboy: "Florida Declaration"

First of all, the document was never published and is not authenticated -- could easily be some later construction. Indeed, it sounds like a later construction, compared to the other secession documents.
But even so, read it again, pal.

It contains not one word about some major "usurpation" or "abuse," "injury" or "oppression" which did happen, but only expressions of fear about what might happen in the future.

Southerners had no real reasons to secede, nor to seize Federal properties, nor to fire on Federal forces, nor to declare war on the United States.

But they did it anyway.
The South chose its fate, and should now be happy with it.
