There were no rebels among the secessionists, except in the Kingdom of Jones and "Mayland" -- and in West Virginia, where they were encouraged by Mr. Lincoln.

Lincoln, suborner of rebellion.

So I guess you were right -- there was a rebellion, only not the one you're talking about.

And as our colleagues have pointed out, the Confederates offered to negotiate compensation and the debt, which a) you refuse to acknowledge and b) Lincoln refused to discuss, because he didn't want to accord the departing States the sovereignty that was their due.
