In your made-up world, you live in... You know the International Law on treaties was not created until the 20th century...The 1783 Treaty has not been rescinded, because it cannot be rescinded by anyone other than the individual state electorates themselves.
Since those electorates never met in a sovereign capacity to surrender their 1783 independence, the "false claim" of 1861 is a legal ghost.
The federal government’s "Self-Coup" was a physical seizure of the exercise of power, but it did not, and could not, touch the title of power held by the states.

Known as the "treaty on treaties", the VCLT establishes comprehensive, operational guidelines, rules, and procedures for how treaties are drafted, defined, amended, and interpreted.[5] The VCLT defines a treaty as an international agreement in writing concluded between states governed by international law.[
