The tenth Amendment proves perfectly how there was no right to unilateral secession by a state or states.

It specifically says that states (or the People) have powers NOT already delegated to the United States through the Constitution.

The Confederate democrats had no right in anyway to usurp these powers as the tenth Amendment states. The tenth Amendment makes it clear that the states have powers NOT delegated to the United State by the Constitution.

Of course the traitorous Confederate democrats wanted to ignore this Amendment though annd to claim that ALL rights were state rights and that they could could just unilaterally disregard the tenth Amendment and the entire Constitution based upon their immoral and perverted political views.

OK, so once again, where in the constitution did the states delegate their right to accession and restrict their right to secession such that it isn't therefore a right reserved to the states per the 10th?

For the secessionist states to be usurpers of a federal power as you claim, they had to be usurping a power delegated in that document...so where is it?

Feel free to copy and paste or link...it's not that big of a document and I like to read.
