Neither slavery nor secession were constitutional (legal) at the time. It was simply not adjudicated. Just because it has not been adjudicated doesn't make it constitutional. The only way it could have been deemed constitutional is if you believe the US Constitution was written with the intent of defining Blacks as cattle rather than People. Secession was not constitutional either. The adjudication in 1869 on Texas vs. White pretty much settled this matter.
The Confederation of States did not adopt the US Constitution and raised the Confederate Flag to defend it. Rather, they created THEIR OWN Constitution. Therefore, they are the CHAZ of their time.
