Well without a compelling moral justification to stop them like slavery provided the North during the civil war who honestly would try to stop them? I'm not even advocating for secession and honestly don't really know a lot about the Texan issue but just saying it isn't legal isn't really that compelling and given the high levels of polarisation in America and the complete disconnect culturally between Texans and their rulers in Washington I think if the time comes issues of legality might be utterly meaningless.

Please explain how slavery was a morally compelling justification for succession.

You completely misread his comment. He meant the exact opposite; that the fact that the South wanted to preserve slavery was a morally compelling justification for the North/US to prevent the South from seceding. Nowadays, the US doesn't have this justification for preventing parts of the US from seceding anymore. Are you myopic or something?

No problem, we all make mistakes sometimes.

The other commentator has a major attitude and hostile stance towards me though, read his reply to my mistake.
