Secession was prohibited by the nature of the Union and the logic of the constitution. Not to mention the words of the document itself: Article III, Section 3, paragraph 1 - Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and Comfort.

If the Cornfederates weren’t committing treason the word has no meaning whatsoever.

Now, you are really making it up and talking through your hat.

Why don’t you listen to the people who are telling you that your ideas are false, contrived, and irrational.
