Oh but wait! When those original 7 states seceded they made no claim to US territory. The left with only their own sovereign territory.

Bullcrap. The soil of those 7 states was UNITED STATES territory - before "secession" during and after. It was never not US soil.

If the insurrectionists wanted to leave so badly they should have gotten on a boat to somewhere else. Instead they launched a bloody civil war that cost hundreds of thousands of American lives.

Nope! States are sovereign. They lawfully seceded.
