Well, there could always have been a union of states who actually wanted to be in the union as opposed to those who were forced to do so at the point of a gun.

The federal gov bought or won in war the fallowing states. Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. Non of them had any right to leave. The US gained a cause belie against Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas by them wanting to detach the other states.

Even without the legalism’s, I would have been immoral to let the south detach and let it spread it’s social system to Cuba and Mexico.
