====That is my understanding as well, I have been doing a lot of research concerning
this and I have some questions
Why did states like Maine, New York, even Wisconsin, think they had the right to
secede ?
Virginia was one state ..yet part of that state broke away and became another, how can
this happen if secession is not constitutional ?
Why did the Southron states have to reapply for admission into statehood ?
When the 14th amendment was being voted on ...how come they found out for a brief
period they were non-states and could not vote on it ?
Just a few questions....

----No it was more based on states rights, slavery would of disappeared on its on with
the westward movement......so the last sentence above is incorrect.
