As per the US Constitution, the United States of America could suppress an insurrection.
There was no clear Constitutional position that secession was illegal until Texas v. White in 1869. In fact, it appears as de facto legal as West Virginia was admitted as a northern state upon its secession from Virginia.
It's a moot point now as the Civil War and Texas v. White have settled the issue, but I don find it an interesting question.

You do or don't find it an interesting question?
Either way, you might be interested in reading 'US Constitution & Secession' by Dwight Pitcaithley. I'd like to read this one as it's rather rare as books on the American Civil War go, it's unique in its focus & thorough in use of primary documents to support its conclusions.
getting personal, eh? dont forget neo-nazi, racist,bigot and all those other false labels you guys put on anyone with a different opinion.
how did a simple question trigger you that much?
your party is the party of the KKK, not mine.

Reason: typos
(stating the obvious) it's disingenuous for you to claim you don't know what a neo-Confederate is.
Another way to phrase is Confederate-American i.e. a person who labels him or herself by hyphenation, with the Country of origin first then - American. Neo-Confederates are those who are still resisting assimilation into their new Country, the United States of America.
The more delusional say things like, 'South's gonna do it again!'
Do what?
Threaten to secede because you insist on owning people like property?
Instigate another American Civil War where millions of our people are maimed or killed?

I don’t understand why anyone would support naming anything after confederate generals in this day in age.
because even though you dont agree with the way of life at that time, neither do i, they was still american, and even thought you think, the war was about one think, that doesnt mean he thought the same ideas.
the south honor confederate soliders because they are our kin, our grandfathers and uncles, blood is thicker than water, it just another political correctness scam because somebody got their feeling hurt that had nothing to do with it, because of their grandfathers and uncles, blood is thicker than water.
this was never an issue till somebody invented the political correctness mode and realize they can take something away, because their feeling was hurt
