Very interesting, thank you for taking the time to respond with this information. It does seem that Lincoln sang a different tune when it was his governmental ox that was being gored.
I didn’t know that three states included a secession clause in their ratification statements of the US Constitution, it would have been better if all had done so.
Regarding the right of secession, the Devil is always in the details, and having the mechanism of session clearly laid out in the Constitution would have saved a lot of bloodshed and suffering.
I am pleased to have provided some interesting information. If nothing else, I hope it shows that you can't trust what people tell you about history. It seems everyone telling a history has an agenda and they slant everything to suit their preference.
