It didn't have a legal right to exist.

The difference between the American Revolution and the Civil War is that one was a rebellion against EVIL, and the other a rebellion against GOOD.

You must have been taught that in the first grade, last year.

And under British law, the colonies as separate and sovereign states did have a right to exist?!? What history book have you been reading from? If they had a legal right to exist, perhaps you could inform us all as to what that 6+ year battle was all about? The Southern states did the exact same thing that all of the states did a scant 80 years earlier. Secede from a union that they no longer wished to be a part of. The reason does not matter. For you to state that the South had no right to secede, denies the very right of the colonies to secede from the British Empire
