[QUOTE="Tulsa Area Shooter, post: 3841151, member: 49016"] States Rights emphasized, wait for it, wait for it, the right to have slaves. South Carolina's declaration of secession included: 1st paragraph is a 1 sentence intro. From 2nd paragraph: “No person [B]held to service or labor in one State[/B], under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” From 3rd paragraph: "This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made. The greater number of the contracting parties held [B]slaves[/B], and they had previously evinced their estimate of the value of such a stipulation by making it a condition in the Ordinance for the government of the territory ceded by Virginia, which now composes the States north of the Ohio River." From 4th paragraph: talking about slaves: "The same article of the Constitution stipulates also for rendition by the several States of[B] fugitives from justice[/B] from the other States." From 5th paragraph: "The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-[B]slavery [/B]feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress." From 7th paragraph: "The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their [B]slaves[/B]; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor." From 8th paragraph: " they have denounced as sinful the institution of [B]slavery[/B]" From 9th paragraph: speaking out against the President (Lincoln): "because he has declared that that “Government cannot endure permanently half [B]slave[/B], half free,” and that the public mind must rest in the belief that [B]slavery [/B]is in the course of ultimate extinction." 10th paragraph finishes the document citing the previous 9 as the reason for secession. It is easy to tie the seceding states motivations to them through their own documentation. Today we have the choice of accepting that slavery was the driving force of the ACW or dishonoring ourselves by obfuscation of the truth. [/QUOTE]
