Their majorities decided to overthrow the constitutional nation they were in, for the territories they held as States.

No, not really. They sought to peacefully exit the union they had voluntarily entered under that constitution and replace it with another union among themselves under a virtually identical constitution.

Inflammatory is in the eye of the beholder and in the nation's eye

Cut the relativity nonsense. You came to this thread and made the post that you did for no other reason than an attempt to provoke emotional and angry reactions from people who do not share the historically ignorant and intellectually sloppy views you do.

Holding slaves wasn't a good enough reason. The Declaration provided for changes of nationality, for good reasons (not bad reasons). The Constitution did not provide for the process you described.
