I honestly believe that all of this talk of secession is not only stupid, not to mention treasonous,

I wouldn't say treasonous exactly. According to the Constitution, no state can be forced into the Union, and no state can be forced to stay. It's up to that state whether or not to secede. If they want to, fine, I wish them the best of luck.

If that is true the Yankees owe us a BIG "I'm Sorry"
Seems the civil war settled that question once and for all no matter what the Constitution says

Actually, that's not true. Unless I've been grossly misled. Any state that tries to secede could be forced (militarily) to remain within the union with one exception...Texas. Texas, by what I have been taught, is the only state in the union with a secession clause in its state constitution.
