You guys kill me. It was acceptable for the StateS to secede from the British union in 1776, but less than 100 years later, it's unacceptable for the South to do the same thing.

No. The original colonies did not secede. The rebelled against Britain and they won. They never tried to paint their actions as something allowed by British law. But you all try to put some sort of legalistic cover on your actions which don't belong there. And why you would want or need a legal OK from the very Constitution that you are tearing up and walking away from is beyond me.

Too, the word 'secession' wasn't used in 1776, so you shouldn't use it either.
