N-S: I did not say secession was illegal. I said unilateral secession was. You should not misquote me.

Only one state ever seceded unilaterally, South Carolina. All seceding states after that had at least one other state in support. The last had 10 other states with them. Hardly unilateral. Look up the definition some time.

Main Entry: uni·lat·er·al
Pronunciation: \ˌyü-ni-ˈla-tə-rəl, -ˈla-trəl\
Function: adjective
Date: 1802

1 a : done or undertaken by one person or party b : of, relating to, or affecting one side of a subject : one-sided c : constituting or relating to a contract or engagement by which an express obligation to do or forbear is imposed on only one party

Only one side had any say in the matter. The other side was ignored. Maybe you should look up the definition before shooting off your mouth?
