I am still puzzling whether the seceding states were still part of the Union or not. If not, then what authority did Lincoln have there? If they were, then how did he achieve quorum in Congress with all those sentators and representatives walking out? Can someone help me on this?

The legallity of secession is still being debated today as you are about to see on this thread.
