no due to the constitution, the south had all right to secede, except they did it illegally, but there really was no was to do it legally since lincoln invaded his own country... but as much as i hate to admit it, the south seceded illegally because per the constitution, they would have had to have representatives of all states agree to disband a state or states in this case because the signing on the constitution was a binding contract amongst all the states...
