Thanks for posting that excellent article. The anti-secession crowd have yet to provide an adequate answer to the question posed. If secession was illegal and unconstitutional, then the case against Davis--not to mention the entire Confederate leadership--would have been a slam-dunk.

So what is your position on portions of states that secede that are anti-seccession seceding from the state they are in (West Virginia) or the potential for that in, say, Eastern Tennessee?
