As always instead of presenting an objective argument your kind always resort to ad hominem attacks. The Southern states had an absolute political right to secede under the U.S. constitution. This was discussed in great length by all of the founders. When Dishonest Abe and the rest of his cabinet provoked an attack they were obliged quite handily by the secessionists. As a result of a Union victory you and the rest of America were deprived of our constitutional republic paving the way for the socialist democracy we now live in.

If the South had a right to secede, where in the Constitution is the process outlined? How did the South attempt to follow said process? To me, it looks like they tried to force the issue with violence, firing the first shots. How did that work out for them?

The South lost. Get over it.
