Time to raise the BS flag! Where did the secession of the Southern States "trample upon the interests" of the Northern States? Oh, gee I'm sorry, I guess those interests must lie in how much money they could make off of them, and how much malcontention they could stir up among the slaves of that time. As to your contention that they had to go to all states (or Congress)to get a quorum as to whether they could secede or not is horsecrap! Amendment 10 says they didn't! The plural "states" means each state. I guess by your assertions then you believe the Soviet Union was justified in invading both Hungary and Chekoslovakia when they tried to break away. After all they didn't ask permission either.
It's been flapping in the breeze since your first post.

Seizing property belonging to all states without compensation. Walking away from the debt built up by the nation while they were a part. Abandoning treaties the United States had been complying with.

Actually it did, according to the Supreme Court. Oh gee, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting that any Supreme Court decision you disagree with is invalid.

No, Hungary and Czechkoslovakia were sovereign nations, Mississippi and Alabama were not.
