Conclusions
Under present federal Supreme Court jurisprudence: •The union which is the United States can never be dissolved by an independent action of one state (unless approved by Congress and/or the other states?) • An individual state may never secede. Apparently, only people rebel - the states remain a part of the Union. • Secession can be successful only if accomplished by force of arms (or agreement of the other states/Congress).

SCOTUS disagrees.
Lawyers are idiots to say the least. The fact remains that free people have the right to self determination, yet, lawyers want to subject that determination to legal requirements that do not exist. NOTHING trump the rights of man to self determination.
The fact about the Civil War is “Might is Right”. He who has the might gets to say what is right. That is all that happened. If the war had gone the other way and the South had won those same idiot lawyers would argue the South had the legal right. Lawyers and politicians, the only group of people that can talk out of both sides of their mouth and claim they aren’t lying.
