Unconstitutional. Clearly states no state may be divided to make a new state. WV being created by Lincoln should not have been allowed.

If a State were acting within the confines of the Constitution, I would agree.

When a State ceases to do so, all bets are off. I am sure that you agree that The People do have the Natural Right to throw off the chains of an over-bearing government.

Article IV of the Constitution:

New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

A lot of stuff done by Lincoln should not have been allowed.
