Now THAT one is not "delegated to the United States by the Constitution", nor is it "prohibited by it to the States", so it would appear that secession IS "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".

But, I have this vague, nagging, memory from history class that secession might have been tried once before by a few of the several States, and that it ended up being forcefully rejected by the United States.

tried before...yes. but if the alternative is more unconstitutional BOHICA, then I will stand with the patriots.

If at first you don’t secede, try try again!
