The only time anyone seriously tried to secede from the US. The laws of other countries don't matter, and unless you can point me to where the law of the US has changed to allow secession, the precedent here has been set very clearly.
The "precedent" has nothing to do with secession. The states formally seceded. Had South Carolina (and other states) not gone all shooty-shooty on federal troops, President Lincoln would've had no case, since there was no "armed insurrection".
The British fired on US first. They sent the troops into the colonies with the specific intent to stop any "rebellion" (really, a secession.) Because of their hostile actions, it wasn't too hard for the Founding Fathers to get the people rallied behind their cause. And thanks to French assistance in the international scene, and the fact that GB couldn't spare the money or troops to put down the "insurrection" we won our freedom.
That is the precedent we will be citing. We will declare ourselves free and sovereign, unencumbered by "Tradition" except the tradition of God-given rights, and those trampled upon!
If they attack us, then they can have their war, but public sentiment will be on our side.
False. See India, for instance. Lots of people have seceded without warfare.
Is India the US, retard?
Is the only time anyone ever seceded in the entire history of the world in 1865, when the South tried to leave the North?
That's....when the war ended, not when it started....
Right, 1861. Sorry.
