It was far more than that, as I've pointed out. Southern repudiation for debt. Southern theft of federal property. Southern abandonment of national commitments. Southern threat to cut off the midwest from access to the sea.

I asked this question before and you never answered it. But what the hell, I'll try again. If states can leave unilaterally then why can't they be expelled unilaterally? I know that you'd be thrilled, but why couldn't the U.S. expell Virginia? Turn it out, remove all federal troops, workers, property, revenues, what-have-you and cast you adrift? Wouldn't you agree that if Virginia can leave the rest of the states unilaterally, the rest of the states could do the same?
