Did the south have the right to secede from the union and why or why not?

In: US Civil War, US History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. When the constitution was ratified, several states were apprehensive about signing, but they were assured that they could always pull out later if the union became undesirable. The constitution also stipulates that no state can have any power that another state does not have, so if any state has the right to secede, they all do.
