They weren't 'allowed' to.
Neither Congress nor any foreign country granted recognition to the Confederacy (although when the North 'blockaded' the Southern ports, they sounded as though they were acknowledging an enemy sovereign power.)
After the war, there were calls to hang Jefferson Davis for treason.

When did tn secede from the union in 1861?
After Fort Sumter (April 12th), when Lincoln responded by appealing for volunteer troops to defend the Union. (There was no actual declaration of war, because Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.) Tennessee was one of the four slave-states of the Upper South that had been undecided until then.
What lesson did you learn from the civil war?
That my ancestors should have simply "let go" and allowed the south to secede and work out their own destiny. We could have avoided 600,000 deaths from combat casualties and battlefield diseases. Slavery would've been resolved in the Confederate States within 25 years anyhow. There would've been no reconstruction period disasters. And the south could now be putting whatever science medieval fairy-tales and history revisions that they want in their high school text books and it wouldn't cause us in the north any sleepless nights. [But, of course, they wouldn't be because then they'd shrivel up into more of an economic irrelevancy than they already were next to their northern brothers.] Texas could execute anyone and everyone they want...and Rick Perry would probably be viewed as a southern progressive instead of the barbarian Hun with good hair that he actually is.
What would happen if the south did not secede from the union?

Can sarawak secede from Malaysia?
===================== Point 7: Right of Secession There should be right to secede from the Federation. ====================== We should take a positive view of the "right to secede" initiative, which is worth considering despite its affirmation in Point 7 which speaks of the Sabahan and Sarawakian rights to secede from the Federation of Malaysia This is so because "the use [by Point 7] of the word ''should' (as opposed to the word 'shall,' for example) turns the option of "RIGHT TO SECEDE" into a mere recommendation." In short, if we take consideration of the above arguments on the reading of POINT 7, the FEDERATION OF MALAYSIA should politely been told.

Why did South Carolina secede the union?
South Carolina was the first one that did. That state had always been the one that asserted States' Rights most loudly, and it led the secession. When Sherman had finished with Georgia, he punished South Carolina heavily for starting the war, burning down the capital Columbia.

Can a state leave the US?
Supposedly they can. All that is really required is for the state assembly to vote in favour of cession from the Union. However, just look what happened when the south tried to do that. When several states seceded in the Civil War, their secession was ruled to be illegal and null and void. Although many people claim that states have the right to secede, the legal point has been clearly settled that states will not be allowed to exercise their right to sucession.
