What is so noble about turning one's sword on the government and country that gave him the sword?

That question could be applied to the Founding Fathers also.

Do you think that this nation did not have a right to secede from England?

With all due respect, that is one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read, or heard.

Others who swear an oath before God to first, support the Constitution of the United States have sometimes also faced that choice.

Some kept their Oath and did their duty as their conscience directed; some did not.

Depends on your priorities, I guess. Would you break your word given in such a pledge for a pretty sword, or would you require a substantial cash payment as well? I understand the going rate is Thirty Pieces of Silver.
