1. The contract (the Constitution) is null and void, if a state withdraws from the Union. There is nothing treasonous about that. Actually, it is rather patriotic, in that it keeps the spirit of our founding fathers alive.

2. The northern politicians didn't care about preserving the union. They wanted the natural resources of the south. period.
