...during the Civil War? I understand that in the constitution its illegal to do what the south did, but the declaration of independence says ".. it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government..." basically the colonists and the south were basically fighting against a gov't they thought was too powerful, so why is one seen as good and the other not good
