I would recommend you read "The Real Lincoln", by Thomas J DiLorenzo. He describes many previous secessionist movements that never got as far. One very prominent one was a movement for the New England states to secede, basically for the same economic reasons (albeit from a different perspective) as the South seceded.

Also, I'm not sure I agree that secession is un-Constitutional.

But the president's use of force to ensure that United States law operate in all the states -is- constitutional.

I have read it. You should take the time to do a little research on some of the supposed "facts" in that piece of trash and you will realize that DiLorenzo is an academic joke but very typical of what comes out of the Neo-Confederate propaganda mill.

The real history is out there. Take the time to find it instead of relying on clowns like DiLorenzo.
