There is no Constitutional right to secession.
And just what would America have looked like if the South had prevailed?
And was the Confederacy entirely unified itself or did some Southern states want to secede from the Confederacy itself?
Missouri was split on the issue, pro and con.
The Tenth Amendment gives the right of secession, when the federal government completely ignores it.
And, of course, there’s that very first line of the Declaration of Independence.
This is correct. The right is given by God, and no manmade law may constrain it.
Forcing people to remain in a Union is no different from forcing a slave to serve you. It violates human rights.
And more importantly there is nothing in the US Const. prohibiting it either.
...there is nothing in the constitution about how a state can go about leaving the union. Neither is there anything in the constitution saying that a state cannot leave the union. Therefore, as per the tenth amendment, the federal government has no authority on the matter, and it is the decision is left to each individual state. To demand that the states lack the power to seceded is to ignore the tenth amendment itself...—Constitutionality of Secession
