Had the South chosen to go about their secession legally, that is with the agreement the parties on both sides of the issue, then I would not have had a problem with the South pulling up stumps and heading off into the sunset. Hell, you all can do it tomorrow and I would not shed a tear or lose a moment of sleep. I have never thought that secession was unconstitutional, or that achieving it had to be very difficult, and have never said anything to the contrary. But do it legally. See, what you Southron types choose to ignore is that secession did impact both those states leaving and those remaining. Regardless of what you choose to believe the remaining states had rights as well, and the Constitution protected all states not just the ones choosing to leave. That's probably the biggest beef I have with your position, that you all think only one side had any rights worthy of protection.
They did. Can you cite the section/clause of the federal Constitution that proscribes the 'legally' accepted method, or is this simply yet another instance of you pulling something out of your thin air? ;o)
One cannot pull up real estate and ride off into the sunset. Just how greedy are you? Is it not enough that Southerners wanted to disassociate from your ilk, without having to abandon their homeland as well? Is that really what got Lincoln's panties in a wad? that Southerners thought more of living in their own country with blacks, Mexicans and native Americans absent yankees?
