"It was understood at the time that a state could leave"

No it wasn't. Now, the right explicitly existed under the Articles of Confederation. But, it wasn't in the Constitution. Nor was it in the Federalist Papers. Now, the Federalist Papers do talk a lot about how weak the Confederation was and how it failed to protect the Union.

So the fact that they did not put the right of secession into the Constitution can only be taken as a deliberate action.
