The US government leaders knew secession was legal, even in the Texas v White it was proclaimed to be legal. In response to your question, it was about money and debt. The US knew that debt is a form of legitimacy, the Southern States had to take action to disavow their debts. The repeal of the ordinances was an action taken to make the takeover and occupation legally legitimate. The sticking point with Texas is that our Ordinance of Secession was the repeal of the legal act that joined us to the Union. The Supreme Court refused to touch that action (review the legitimacy or our admission), since they knew it was bogus as well. If you really want to stir up a hornet's nest, the US Congress in terms of what the Constitution allows ceased to exist when the Southern Representatives walked out on it. (Hmmmm....) The action raises concerns about the legitimacy of any act it passed after that time (Hmmmm...) Ducit Amor Patria, J Murrah Richard,
