Can you show me in the US Constitution where state secession is prohibited?

It doesn't matter that the Constitution fails to explicitly prohibit state secession. Our esteemed Abraham Lincoln set the precedent for how the federal government in reality would deal with that. He prosecuted a total war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans after some states attempted to secede. To "preserve the Union", regardless of the cost.

Today that reaction might involve the feds destroying whole towns and villages with massive weaponry that Lincoln and his generals could only have dreamed about back then. Secession is off the table, sorry to say.

Kudos for a thoughtful post.

Winning the Revolutionary War by a bunch of Patriots against the Preeminent and most powerful Country in the world seemed impossible as well, and yet, they fought anyway.

I think the only human alive in the USA in 1860 that would actually fight a war to keep states in IN the union was Lincoln.

If we could destroy as few as half a dozen cities, we could take back our Republic.
