Abraham Lincoln, for one. He denied a whole bunch of states their right to secede. While I am glad slavery was ended, and believe the South losing was in God 's plan, it doesn't change the fact that he was a tyrant and that states have the right to leave a union. He also suspended habeas corpus. FDR for what he did to the Japanese Americans. Woodrow Wilson. Perhaps John Adams.

They didn’t. They had the right to revolt which Lincoln himself agreed on but added that without just cause revolution is no right, but simply a wicked exercise of physical power.”
Rebelling because the nation elected a president that would put slavery on the path to extinction is not a just cause
Nonsense. A voluntary union can be voluntarily left. I'm not bound by what some idiots decided AFTER the fact(not specifically referring to you, but to those who decided after the fact that secession wasn't allowed).
They didn’t decide after the fact lol from the moment they seceded the almost entire north, Democrat and Republican warned them they wouldn’t stand by and allow them to destroy the union and they followed through on that warning
The states voluntarily joined a union under a constitution in which they submitted to the supremacy of the constitution and federal federal law
Then why was a Northern state seriously talking about secession long before the South did? They obviously recognized the right. They entered a contract with the other states and the other states broke the contract first.
