so i refer you to one simple phrase
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
in this case of secession, the outcome of the election is not the chief issue, perhaps it is one of many?
as i pointed out in prior posts, the widening deficet, the crippling debt which will never be recovered from - ever. the ever increasing size and power of the federal government. the list goes on... personally i think most if not all of the gripes the states have are legitimate.

That's as may be, but is succession really the answer? I can't see it doing anything other than setting back the progress of the United States by several decades and possibly resulting in another 3% of the population getting killed.
