It's March 1861 and since the issue of legality of secession remains in dispute the Democrats work to call a constitutional convention. IIRC there are no real guidelines as to how that can work, but they could try. I think the Constitution provides that avenue for amendment.
The Confederates take the moral, political, and legal high ground they can rightfully never be called rebels or traitors. Absent aggressive military action by the CSA, how many northern legislatures might just say, fine, we'll have a convention. The ACW becomes a knock-down, drag-out among politicians instead of between 17 to 25 year-olds.
