So it is your opinion that If they had freed the slaves this was only a simple contract breach? I want to be clear.

It would have been rebellion unless the Congress would have worked out terms of separation.

"It would have been rebellion unless the Congress would have worked out terms of separation."

So you have no problem with states withdrawing from the Union so long as they do it via an amemdment per Article V? That any secession attempt that breaches the constitution would not be a valid secession it would be a rebellion, is that about it or do you have more conditions?
