Secession is in the American bloodstream. Your ancestors separated themselves from (perceived or actual) unjust or unfree countries so that they could be free. There is no sense in which the American people ‘are not allowed to secede’.
In fact: if the Constitution is no longer being honored in the US, you don’t really have a choice.
The Constitution guarantees the States a republican form of governemnt. If all the power and authority resides in DC, then there is no republic - the contract is broken, and the Constitution is no longer in effect.

I agree with that statement. The way I see it Lincoln in his attempt to “preserve the nation” really brought about the demise of our freedoms in this country and the era of centralized government was ushered in. Thanks a lot Abe!
Everyone seems to miss out a point on the founding of this country, if you look at the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers didn’t want to leave England, just felt that there was no longer any choice. The Declaration of Independence has a long list of the wrongs that the English crown had done to the colonies which became the United States of America. If those colonies had been treated far better, a seperate United States of America may have been long in coming. I challenge anybody to come with a similiar list of wrongs that the Federal government did to the Southern States prior to the Civil War of 1861-1865
