I’d also like to mention/discuss the definition of “Union” Joining or being joined, especially in a political context.
-A club, society, or association formed by people with a common interest or purpose.
I don’t recall seeing this in your writings, I think it’s important because it intrinsically rationalizes or validates the States secession. Especially when the North/Federalists referred to their army as a “Union force”. If the country was a Union, then by their own definition States could divest themselves. If we were a nation, it would be a rebellion. However, by there own labeling as a Union, logically any members of said Union would/should be allowed to divest themselves from said Union. Therefore making any attempt to attack or regain States illegal, unlawful and egregious.
In describing what the 'Murican Union ISN'T there is a negative explanation of what the Union IS: an organization created by The States to discharge some of their sovereign rights. I edited and put back into print an entire book on the Nature of the 'Murican Union: "Is Davis A Traitor?" if anyone is interested in THE compleat demolition of the Union as an indissoluble, the book is here: https://shop.mikechurch.com/product/is-davis-a-traitor-paperback/

I understand your point but but I tend to dig deep into these discussions. Most people might glaze over or pass up the diagrams. God Bless
