I doubt that. Here is what Supreme Court justice chase said in the Texas bs White case that states secession was illegal.

“The union between Texas and the other states was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original states. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.”

Chase said when discussing trying Jefferson Davis that his capture was a mistake, his trial would be a bigger mistake for by the constitution secession is not treason. He was right about that - also that was a startling admission for him to make.
