There is no "leaving amicably". Just ask the states in the Confederacy. And Maryland, since Lincoln used the military to take control of their state government before they had a chance to vote on leaving.
I read somewhere that states aren't "legally" allowed to secede Looked it up briefly, Texas vs. White, 1869 ruling declared secession illegal without 'consent of the Union', or successful revolution.
"Legal" means nothing in warfare.
Completely false too, the mid west states ONLY agreed to join the union if they were allowed proper representation by the federal government. The federal government is now decreeing that slaves leaving the plantation is illegal based off nothing more than a one sided code of ethics the states have to follow, which the federal government routinely ignores
