Book Description
Excerpt from A Vindication of Secession and the South From the Strictures of Rev. R. J. Breckinridge, D. D., LL. D., In the Danville Quarterly Review Nothing remains for the author to discuss, under his fifth head, but the duty of the Government at Washington in relation to secession. Having assumed that this is a con solidated nation, secession comes to be denounced as sedi tion, anarchy and rebellion, which must be crushed by the central authority. By the express terms, as well by the very nature of the Federal Constitution, a secession ordi nance in the South is as totally void as a personal liberty law in the North can possibly be. There was no more le gal necessity, nor any more logical consistency, in diatribes about lack of power to coerce a State, in one case than in the other. The doctrine that the people of a State are citizens of the United States only through its own Constitution and Government, is pronounced a political falsehood, and the power is declared complete to execute the laws of the United States upon every citizen of the United States, where ever found. He declares it sheer folly to weaken the posture of the General Government towards the secession movement and is accordingly very severe upon those at the N orth who have united in protests against coercion, as all this but tends to avert the coming reaction which may save the country. His deliberate counsel, therefore, is, in this great emergency, that the General Government shall steadily but temperately enforce the laws, postal, revenue, and every other, in all the seceding States, in utter disre gard of all the ordinances these latter may have enacted, avoiding armed collision, except in repelling force by force. By this policy, to which he denies the term coercion, the voice that has not yet been heard, and the hand that has not yet been lifted - even the voice and the hand of this great nation - will be raised to restore the old Union to its former integrity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Right of Secession: A Review of the Message of Jefferson Davis to the Congress of the Confederate States During the war waged against Great Britain by her colonies on this continent, a common danger impelled them to close alliance and to the formation of a Confederation, by the terms of which the col ouies, styling themselves States, entered 'severally into a firm league of friendship with each other for their common defence, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding them selves to assist each other against all force offered to or attacks made upon them or any of them on account of religion, sovereignty, trade.

Book Description
Excerpt from Northern Rebellion and Southern Secession Many able writers of the South have done nobly in their treatment of the period, the historical data of which I here review; I fully recognize my indebtedness to them; yet I have sought to prove my fundamental premises by evidence which cannot be suspected of prejudice in favor of the South.
