“Jefferson never spoke of a “God-given” right of secession.”

Our good friend in post 412 disagrees with you.

“Who said anything about a “new” right or the right of secession coming anywhere but from God? . . . Jefferson used the D of I to establish the God-given natural right of secession, among other things.”

So, critic answers critic.

For the tally book, I agree with that part of post 412.

I suspect that he isn't your friend. That said he is most likely misspoken. You on the other hand are just plain wrong. Although there is plenty of quotes and conversation by the Founders regarding a God-given right to rebel against tyranny, I have never seen anything by any of them regarding secession being a God-given right.
