Right Of secession: Was a true right. I have always wondered if Pres Lincoln could have launched his unconstitutional war if They hadn’t fired on Fort Sumpter. The confeds fixed this error by referring to the Confederacy as a “perpetual union”in the Confed Constitution.
Remember an issue settled by force of arms is never really settled.

I have always wondered if Pres Lincoln could have launched his unconstitutional war if They hadn’t fired on Fort Sumpter. What unconstitutional war? I'll point out that the Southern states initiated the conflict when they chose to further the aims of their rebellion by bombarding Sumter.

Remember an issue settled by force of arms is never really settled. Sure it is. Ask the Nazis or the Imperial Japanese Navy. Or George III.
