The people of that state did not want secession.

And even if they did, "give them the bayonet!" right...

Let's see you and some of your pals declare your secession from the United States of America and then fire on a U.S. Army fort. Soldiers of the U.S. Army would line up to give you and yours the bayonet too.

But they didn't. For folks that started the fight in the first place, it is more than sissy to cry about the outcome --- but that's what Neo_Confederates do --- cry like little girls about their "rights" when the so-called "republic" they were trying to start was all about denying rights to others. A damned drunken rebel mob in Baltimore caused the first deaths of the war by attacking troops doing no more than passing through the city, from one station to another, on their way to the nation's capital. You shoot at soldiers then or now, you got no bitch if you find a bayonet up your behind. Even before Lincoln took office, the so-called Confederate Government had a standing army, ready to fight, that was 10 times larger than the Union army. They had more troops massed around Fort Sumter alone than existed in the entire Union army, and you insist that Lincoln started the fight. You sound like Baghdad Bob.
