“Lincoln STARTED A WAR THAT KILLED 800,000 AND WOUNDED A MILLION OF HIS FELLOW AMERICANS.”

That is a lie, because it was the secessionists who started armed hostilities against the United States months before Lincoln was inaugurated as the President of the United States. The secessionists are responsible for the causing the casualties of the American Civil War, which never would have happened if they had not started an armed rebellion in violation of the Constitution.

I’m not terribly sure that Armed Rebellion is in violation of the Constitution.

Can you show me the the article/section in the US Constitution that codifies state secession as either being allowed or not allowed?
