What had the government done to them that made them want to leave.

Is it up to the 13 colonies to decide or not?

Clearly the Canadians and the Brits did not agree with their view that King George III had become oppressive. The 13 slave states chose to leave, and their reasons for doing so only needed to satisfy themselves, not the Canadians or Brits.

So you think the Framers thought the Constitution was just a suggestion?

It required a vote didn't it?

I think you would do well to study the American Revolution some. It’s pretty clear you have no frigging idea what the hell you are talking about.

Just as a point of fact, there were 15 slave states in 1860. Only 11 chose to secede.
