And it says what about secession?

Secession is not legal. The Civil War proved that.

Congratulations. You have just been inducted into the Abraham Lincoln Legion of Military Logic whose motto is might makes right the ends that justified the means.

Why would he even bother to start the war?

"Secession is not legal. The Civil War proved that."

The only thing the war proved is that many Northern and Western states with their massive resources and the banner of the Union could militarily defeat a few Southern States.

In about four years.
