"By the principles of the American revolution, arbitrary power may and ought to be resisted even by arms if necessary- The time may come when it shall be the duty of a State, in order to preserve itself from the oppression of the general government, to have recourse to the sword." - Luther Martin, Delegate from Maryland, 1788
Such oppression had not happened. The federal government was tiny in 1860. It had almost NO military arm not fighting the Indians. It had been run by Southerners for most of our existence. It had NO intention to oppress the slavers.
There are few arguments as absurd as that claiming actions of the federal government justified rebellion.
Luther Martin would not have supported the RAT Rebellion. Perhaps you should quote Luther Martin’s opinion of Jefferson, the poster boy of the secessionists.
