Did the CSA have the right to succede from the Union?
I realize that this question may not warrant a simple answer… But I am curious as to your opinions on the matter. In 1860, was the United States a voluntary confederation, or a perpetual federal union?
I am especially interested in Texas’ right to succede, since it was without a doubt an independant nation before surrendering its sovereignty by joining the Union, and not just a territory that was ‘statified’.
Obviously the federal government felt the union was not secede-able, if that’s a word. Once in, you’re stuck!
Those who wanted out of course saw it differently.
I think if the South had put it before the Supreme Court, rather than bone-headedly firing on Fort Sumter, things could have been settled a lot more peacefully.
