11 Secessions were secessions and NOT a lawsuit. Nothing more was required.

A war, much misery, and a Supreme Court decision disagree with your opinion.

They were not secessions. They were of no legal effect, but after the insurrection started, legal niceties were less important until the insurrection had been suppressed. After the war, Texas v. White ruled that they pretended secession was of no legal effect.
