Not to mention Lincoln's revisionist history. It was not a majority that ratified the Constitution and then it applied to everyone, but every state individually ratified it. Meaning that any state could individually choose to leave the compact just as freely as they entered.[/QUOTE]
The legal question of secession is not very relevant since certain states were already granted their independence as Cuba was in later years, without re-occupation (disregarding Kennedy's Pay of Pigs Invasion). The Civil War was consequential to Sumpter as a re-occupation of Cuba would have been if they attacked Guantanamo.
