[HenryLeeII]

The very act of calling secession conventions within the states was an affirmation of the Tenth Amendment, contrary to your assertion that they ignored it. The rest of your post is so vaguely and poorly written as to be unintelligible. Washington and his generation of Virginians were not anti-secession (if that is what you are trying to imply), unless you have uncovered long-lost writings that historians should read.

Read Jefferson's inaugural address (1801), Washington's farewell address. The correspondence of Madison and Jefferson after about 1818 clearly shows the abhorrence they shared of destroying their country. Washington considered himself an American not a Virginian.

Secession is constitutionally impossible because no state can make a law (secession) which effects the other states. That is why the Constitution is the Law of the Land. So unless you throw out the constitution secession cannot be legal. Simple logic would show that to one who understands the document and its development.

None of the Southern leaders claimed they were implementing the 10th amendment or acting under it. That is a recent fantasy of the current generation of D.S.s. Nor is there any need to find new writings to make it clear that the founders never intended the "perpetual Union" formed under the Confederation to be disrupted. To claim otherwise is just a Lie.

If you can't understand what I write that is your problem though I am sure you are fibbing about that.
