That is my point. IF their right to secede was not denied the 600,000 Americans who died from bloodshed would have lived a full life and the country would not have suffered from the after math for a century or more. It is my hope the powers inherent in ANY sovereign State are not denied by the US ever again, e.g., nullification and secession.

While I am not in disagreement with the rest of your post. I am however, not sure I am quite following 100%.

South Carolina did not attempt to secede the Union, it did secede the Union. So did several other states. They rejoined the Union years after the war.

Tennessee July 24. 1866

Arkansas June 22, 1868

Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina June 25, 1868

Alabama July 14, 1868

Virginia January 26, 1870

Mississippi February 23, 1870

Texas March 30, 1870

Georgia July 15, 1870
