Simple question: did Jefferson support the right of each state to secede peacefully?

We both know the answer to that. He made no secret of it. Jefferson was hardly alone in that. That was the majority view and only a vanishing minority thought states did not reserve that power since they did not delegate it anywhere in the constitution to the federal government.
