Excerpt from Is Davis a Traitor: Or Was Secession a Constitutional Right Previous to the War of 1861?

Excerpt from Is Davis a Traitor: Or Was Secession a Constitutional Right Previous to the War of 1861?
It is not the design of this book to open the subject of secession. The subjugation of the Southern States, and their acceptance of the terms dictated by the North, may, if the reader please, be considered as having shifted the Federal Government from the basis of compact to that of conquest; and thereby extinguished every claim to the right of secession for the future. Not one word in the following pages will at least be found to clash with that supposition or opinion. The sole object of this work is to discuss the right of secession with reference to the past; in order to vindicate the character of the South for loyalty, and to wipe off the charges of treason and rebellion from the names and memories of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sydney Johnston, Robert E. Lee, and of all who have fought or suffered in the great war of coercion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the heated debate surrounding secession in the United States, a topic that would ultimately lead to the Civil War. The author delves into the historical and legal arguments for and against the right of states to leave the Union, focusing on the contentious claim that the Constitution was a compact between sovereign states. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to refuting the prominent Northern view that the Constitution was not a compact, but rather a fundamental law established by the people of the United States as a single nation. The author engages directly with the arguments of Daniel Webster, a leading figure in the debate, and dissects his claims regarding the meaning of the Constitution and the language used to define it. By analyzing primary sources and historical records, the book challenges the notion that the South was inherently disloyal or treasonous in its desire to secede, instead advocating for a deeper understanding of the political and legal complexities that led to this momentous conflict. The book offers a powerful and nuanced perspective on the origins of the Civil War, challenging conventional narratives and urging readers to reconsider the historical context and the arguments surrounding the right of secession.
