Is it possible that the Southern States could've remained seperate entities, with a shared military alliance? Sort of like the Republic of South Carolina and the Republic of Texas assisting one another?

Didn't the Confederate constitution explicitly disallow secession? Though some would have you believe the at the ACW was over state's rights, instead of slavery, I sincerely doubt you could ever get a loose alliance out of what was essentially a highly centralized state.
