Blah blah blah completely ignoring the FACT that when the Constitution was ratified, certain southern states were assured they could withdraw should their sovereignty be challenged. This was NOT in the 1860’s as you have inferred. The Constitution was signed in 1787 and did not take effect until March 4, 1789. 1860’s were a long time later.
That's not true either. At least you're consistent.
The signing statements, tacked onto the ratification documents, were designed to allay fears regarding their great undertaking. They have no force of law. They were (and remain) merely symbolic gestures.
Regardless of how often you repeat it, that's still mythology, not fact.
And you yourself can prove it by producing the document you claim exists making such a promise.
Take your time looking for it, I'll wait...

Right, got that, so Lincoln himself never made such a promise.
But who then, pay tell, did?
And while we're at it, what "challenge", exactly, existed in November 1860 against, say, South Carolina's "sovereignty"?
