Thanks, but I'm looking for a statement from the "New England states" affirming secession, peaceful, legal secession, to be a right enshrined in the US Constitution. You know I don't think it is, but I want to read something from the founding generation that holds the contrary view, both to see if DiLorenzo is fantasizing again, and to see what the argument would have been, if it did indeed exist in any serious way from 1774-1815.

Regards,

Richard F.

Maybe DiLorenzo has finally tumbled onto winning technique. We can't disprove something that never happened.
