My point again, in case you still haven't grasped it is: our Founders well understood the difference between lawful approved secession versus rebellion, insurrection, "domestic violence", treason, etc.

The problem is that you weren't even successful in trying to make your own point then, because none of the examples you cited, with the possible, partial exception of the last one, were ever understood to even be attempts at a lawful secession, and they weren't even billed as such by those participating in them.

Face it, your examples were bad ones and didn't support your argument.

Face it, so long as you refuse to "get" the point, the examples won't make sense to you.
Point is: those examples prove that rebellion, etc., including threats of unapproved secession, was clearly and decisively opposed by our Founders.
