Madison, in his famous letter to Daniel Webster, in March 1833, stated, "It is fortunate when disputed theories, can be decided by undisputed facts."

He then proceeded to destroy the idea of "secession at will."

Of course the neo-confederates reject Madison and Hamilton. They were key proponents of American nationalism - something the neo-confederates despise.

Unfortunately none of the Founders' generation will support the Idea since most had thought of themselves as Americans since the early 1770s. Not even Jefferson supported the concept of secession as anything but evil.
