Yes. They did in 1860-1861. April 9, 1865 was a dark day. Read the Declaration of Independence- “ Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed- that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and institute a new government “.
The South didn’t want to abolish the government, the just wanted to follow the principles of the Declaration and go their own way.
