Wrong document. Check the "Declaration of Independence."
Based on that document, there is indeed a fundamental human right to dissolve the bonds that bind a people to an unjust government. Whether or not the confederacy accurately represents such a case is open to question; but the existence of the principle itself is not.
Or would you say that the Declaration is erroneous on that point?
No, but the situation of the colonies in 1776 wasn't like the one of the Southern States. For example, they did have representation.
Abraham Lincoln did the correct. The Confederates were rebels and didn't represent the principles of the Founding Fathers.
