Ask 10 different informed people you'll get at least 8 different answers!. Ask 10 different uninformed people you'll get 2 different answers (yes and no)!. The Constitutional merits of secession have been debated since the 1790s and no consensus has been reached yet!. (Most biographers of Jefferson Davis believe this is the reason he was never brought to trial during his 2 year imprisonment: the government was afraid that good attorneys could argue that secession was justified and legally valid [which would have opened up a whole huge can of worms] and thus he was not a traitor!.)

My personal opinion: secession was justified in that the Constitution allowed it (many would argue that)!. It was also an act of thoroughly unforgivably superhuman (unless the human is G!.W!. Bush) political and military stupidity!. The S!.Carolinians should have known (and in fact many Southern politicians did know and argued until they were blue in the face but in vain) that the south could not win a war and that the USA would not let them leave peacefully!.

I think it was more justified in the 1830s however, when it was much talked about but didn't happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is a matter of opinion!. If you were a believer in "states rights" then it was justified!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
