And the last part is more BS.
Please tell me who got the authority to change the makeup of the union?
And then please explain how a US president can allow part of the union to break away without breaking his oath of office.
Please explain why James Buchanan did nothing when the first state seceded. OH I KNOW WHY...because he looked at his constitution and realized there was nothing that said they COULD NOT SECEDE. Franklin Pierce was another president that openly sympathized with the Confederacy and saw nothing wrong with them legally forming their own nation.
And to your BS about restructuring the Union, people had been doing that since the beginning. You seem to like precedence so you could look to the Louisiana Purchase (which northerners thought was unconstitutional and a waste of money for Jefferson's science experiments) , Texas American War (which some northerners also argued was over expanding slavery), etc...all of which resulted in presidents creating new territory, structuring new state lines, etc
