Abraham Lincoln didn't violate the Tenth Amendment; the South seceded in defiance of the Constitution, being forbidden from doing so by Article I, Section 10, Clause 1; Article VI, Section 2; and the Tenth Amendment itself.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 clearly prohibits the states from forming an alliance with each other in place of the federal government: "No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation..."

Article VI, Section 2 (Supremacy Clause) subordinates state laws to the US Constitution, Federal Laws and US treaties when there is a conflict between them:

"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

Amendment X acknowledges the powers granted to the federal government OR prohibited to the states both protect and limit States' interests. Secession is definitely NOT supported by the Constitution.

"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."
