Why is that? It was a military base on the land of a foreign power.
Eh, we have a system of government in place and they had representation in that government. Nevertheless they tried to subvert it so they can keep owning people. It was illegitimate. Fuck em. Lincoln did the right thing.

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Calling the CSA a "foreign power" is a real stretch. It was a power grab by a bunch of elite radicals in a bunch of slave states. They had no claims to legitimately govern and subverted the republican processes the states willingly entered into. They were no more legitimate than Vichy France. Actually less so if anything.
Everyone knew that at the time.

I think that, if a state wanted to secede, then an amendment to the Constitution can be set up to formally set up procedures to do so. That is the way our system of government is set up to work. A system of government that Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, et. al. willingly signed on to. They tried to do it by force. They lost.
