“Any state that entered into the United States approving the Constitution as their Law agreed that changes to that agreement had to be in the manner of that Constitution.”

Your argument against secession broke down, but not until your first sentence.

By your own account, the Union states were obligated to amend the constitution using the amendment process if they wished to prohibit secession.

Secession was certainly not prohibited in the constitution then, or now.

And per the 9th amendment, it was not necessary for secession to be enumerated as a state's right in order for it to be available.

You need to revert back to that tried, tired, and hard-to-disprove argument: God told Abraham Lincoln to destroy the South and kill all those people.

No, the truth, by the CSA’s own words, was that the CSA was formed to enshrine the superiority of the whites over the blacks.

I already quoted your leadership's beautiful, stirring words, above.
