If secession was legal then what right did the North have to keep the South in the USA?
Secession was not legal under U.S. Law. Some states published secession documents. We get that.
But the sovereignty of the United States rests upon the people of the whole United States.
Right?
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The states have no power to act when the sovereign power lies with the people.
