Reality check: South Carolina didn't care about any of that nonsense when it seceded the day after Lincoln won the election: neither did the six other states that followed before Lincoln's Inauguration.
Ask the Soviet Union if it broke apart by legal means in 1991. Or whether Ireland got its independence "legally."
Nations never form and reform legally: people would stop it. They just do it very, very quickly, and often violently.
The fact that Ireland was under the iron rule of England for 800 years signifies massive cowardice and the lack of knowing how to fight intelligently by the few brave Irishmen. The same can be said of the USA today.
