secession was a right in 1776 then why did they have to fight for it?

Because they were subjects of the king, not parties to an agreement entered into voluntarily. Surely you can do better than that.

Just because you have a right doesn't mean someone won't try to take it away. If the feds want to take away my guns, I will fight to retain that right.

For all but the original 13, they were allowed to join. If they needed the permission of the other states to enter then why not to leave as well?

How was that?

More power to you. But the fact that you say you will fight would probably not make the feds back off in fear. They'd probably oppose you right back.
