Lincoln won 59.4% of the Electoral College Vote.
Trump won 56.5% of the Electoral College Vote.
So your view is any state can leave the Union anytime the state chooses for any reason the State dreams up.
Yep. That’s what a voluntary union is. The United States aren’t bound together by a sacrament. Those who opt to leave are answerable to God and their constituents, but not the other states. There should be justice in the way the severance occurs, but the union is a voluntary union of sovereign states, together, within the bounds of the constitution, signing over certain enumerated powers so long as they are part of the union.
Ok
If it is a voluntary union of sovereign states then don’t those same sovereign states have the right to decide who they want to unite with? Can’t the 49 states turn the 50th out of the union at any time they want, regardless of the wishes of that state?
