Civil War History - Secession and PoliticsWas it Slavery, or was it States Rights? Perhaps it was the election of Lincoln? What were the real reasons for Southern Secession and what were the political issues in this time of war? Find your answers here in the Secession and Politics Disussion.
I am not very clear on the article you posted here.
Is DeBow commenting on another? And is it a member of the US Congress or is he commenting on the Hinton Helper book? And is this article anywhere online where I can read it in its entirety?

Thanks, JT. A highly useful site, if only for DeBow.

I love The Making of America. Two very useful sites (Cornell and Michigan). Original source material on line. You've got to love that.

Oh yes! Added it to my favorite places so the next time I can't get to sleep (late night, don't tie up the phone, cursed dial-up) there will be some interesting reading.
Thanks again. Ole
