re: If secession was legal then what right did the North have to keep the South in the USA?

It would seem to me that Virginia, NC, SC and Georgia had already seceded or left the British Empire and elected to join the US. Could they have left the US in the same fashion? Why not?
Now Tenn, La. and the other Confederate states were territories of the US who each petitioned to become a state and was granted statehood. Wouldn't they have a different legal position and less of a legal argument to leave the US?
