Didn't work out too well, did it?

No, particularly since Lincoln's actions nullified the Compact.

§ 203. The treaty is void by the destruction of one of the contracting powers …….Thus, when a state is destroyed and the people are dispersed, or when they are subdued by a conqueror, all their alliances and treaties fall to the ground with the public power that had contracted them.
Book II, Chapter VIII, Law of Nations

Congratulations, you won, and your reward is an unlimited government.

Sure, right after the south crapped all over it. Congratulations, we all won, although some are too pig-headed to recognize it.
