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.

Only if their actions are done legally. Otherwise it's a violation of the contract and they are free to take action against the violators.

If that were true then what difference would it have made it the south seceeded or not? The north would still have been the prime market for an independent south's resources. The cost of getting them to northern markets wouldn't have changed. Your claim makes very little sense.
