Of course, so they chose the lawful constitutional remedy, secession.
Only to unlawfully become the target of Northern aggression and invasion by the Union Army.
It was a terrible time in our history, all deaths were unnecessary, but Lincoln was going to have his way, come hell or high water. What a horrible price was paid for his tyranny.
Secession wasn’t lawful - especially the way the south chose to attempt it. A bloody war and a supreme court challenge proved that.
Except secession in the manner which they chose to pursue it is not lawful or Constitutional.
Only to unlawfully become the target of Northern aggression and invasion by the Union Army.
Are you forgetting that little matter of bombarding Fort Sumter into submission? Without that there wouldn't have been a war and there would have been no reason for anybody to invade anyone.

Shouldn't blame lie with those who started the war?
Hey, Lincoln only got 350,000 of his own guys killed, and hundreds of thousands more of them maimed.
He got to spike the ball in the end zone - that's all that counts.
