I deny that the right existed, and have made clear the distinction in earlier posts between secession as an ordinary right, and the extraordinary conditions under which it may become legitimate.....

"A Right" is meaningless, unless there is an effective way to enforce it. The Southern State leaders hoped they had a right to secede. Turned out they didn't. In American law, the Southern states never seceded. They just rebelled. All Southern Confederacy oath takers could have legally been tried and executed as traitors.
