No it was not legal, it clearly states in the 10th Amendment "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Meaning that they could secede if the state wanted to since the federal goverment wasn't reserved that power.

Yes it was illegal. It was considered a violation of the amendments and that's why war was necessary to make people agree on something for once. The Confederate States made their own amendments once they seceded but technically, they never actually left the north so those new amendments were considered null and void.

Which is the BEST example of conflict between the Native Americans and the European colonists?
antiseptic1488 [7]

A is the best example.

King Phillip's War occurred in MA, CT, and RI during 1675-1678 after the death of Massasoit and the ascension of his son Metacomet to the leadership of the Wampanog tribe. The power dynamic changed the relationship between the colonizers and the native population, who were beginning to feel like they were being taken advantage of. The war largely ended with the colonists winning and Metacomet dying.
