Secession is illegal.

So was rebelling against the British Crown. It is hypocritical to criminalize the very act that made this country possible.

I mean they literally fought a war over it in the 1860s that killed over 800k Americans, so that seems like a pretty clear statement of intent.

So they proved they are willing to commit war crimes against their own people to force them to stay in a union built on stolen Indian land. And I dare you to try the "you lost the war, get over it" non-comeback on the American Indian.

They didn't steal it ffs, they simply came to share it. If the Indians had have been neighborly about it instead of shooting arrows off in all directions they'd be best mates now.
