And there will be endless posts. One side will argue for “slavery was wrong” and “you can’t secede from the Union”. The other side will counter with “it was about states rights” and “secession is legal and Constitutional”.

Right, wrong or indifferent, slavery was legal and settled law. The Yankee government had NO right whatsoever in telling the states they could not have slaves.

It would be like forcing citizens to buy health insurance.
