[On the subject of "rebellion," continued] NOPE. we cannot. secession was LAWFUL. lincoln started an UNJUST war to compel the FREE southern nation back into the union. as a result of the UNJUST war, a MILLION people died NEEDLESSLY.

See my post 204 outlining my reasoning behind the legality of secession, with regards to the original 13 colonies. I'm not sure if my logic would apply to all of the Western states, as the terms of their inclusion in the Union could potentially have been limited as the original Northwest Territory was.

once more, SECESSION was/IS lawful under the 10th Amendment, as secession is NOT one of the powers of the states that was ceded to the central government.
