Here we go.

There is no provision for secession, so the attempt to do so was unlawful.

Therefore the US Constitution is silent on the subject so it is not unconstitutional for a state to secede.

The 10th amendment would,cover it, at least before it died after the C.W. since it granted states the rights not covered by the first nine.
