How would a secessionist use slavery to construct an argument defending a state's
right to leave the union?
southern states had only ratified the constitution after an agreement with the
north that slavery would never be abolished.
slavery had been listed in the declaration of independence as an unalienable
right that no government could violate.
slavery had been accepted at the time of the constitution when the union was
created; therefore, if slavery was abolished so was the union.
if legally owned property, like slaves, could be abolished by the national
government, states could secede to protect their rights,

quickly

I think the answer is Slavery had been accepted at the time of the Constitution when the Union was

created; therefore, if slavery was abolished so was the Union.

I'm taking a test right now so I really don't know. Please tell me if this is wrong.

If legally owned property, like slaves, could be abolished by the national government, states could secede to protect their rights

Explanation:

One of the main arguments of the Southern whites to defend secession was the State’s rights. The southern States defended that the Federation says that the Federal Government and state governments are equal upon the Constitution, which means that it would not be possible for the Union to prohibit slavery because they did not have the authority to do so.

“a modest proposal”

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
