"In the 1869 case Texas v. White, the court held that individual states could not unilaterally secede from the Union and that the acts of the insurgent Texas Legislature — even if ratified by a majority of Texans — were “absolutely null.”"
"If there were any doubt remaining after this matter, the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia set it to rest when he asked by a screenwriter in 2006 whether there was a legal basis for secession. In his response, he wrote: “The answer is clear,” Scalia wrote. “If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede. (Hence, in the Pledge of Allegiance, ‘one Nation, indivisible.’)”"
If there is any constitutional question answered by the civil war it is that secession is considered treason without constitutional test, and answered by sheer violence and corporate greed ( carpet beggars).

Carpet baggers? They mostly just took, no begging needed.
Lol! Indeed. Thanks.
