It is pretty clear.....everything not covered goes back to the states and that certainly includes the right to withdraw from a union they VOLUNTARILY entered.

With but 13 exceptions you didn't VOLUNTARILY enter anything. You were admitted. You were allowed to join only after obtaining the approval of the majority of the existing states through a vote in Congress. Since the other states let you in, why shouldn't they be the ones to let you leave.

The simple fact is that the cause of The South would have been vindicated had Davis been given a trial and every legal mind of that time knew it.

ROTFLMAO
