no, what is impressive is your lack of ability to research on your own. they were representatives from the states. did you know the states each had their own form of republican governments as guaranteed by the constitutions, each with their own cute little statesmen?

i’d provide you the link to the original source (again), but unfortunately the tutor left the room, so you’re stuck with the obscure clues i left - like the congressman’s name and the time and place of his report.

showing your work counts for 50% of this test and you can’t afford any more F’s.

You didn't provide a link. You cited a book with no page number. Give me a page number and I'll do the rest.

What I did find was Giddings submitting a petition from Pennsylvania quakers, not northern state representatives, praying for a peaceful dissolution of the union in 1850, not 1856.

By the way, there’s a difference between a dissolution of the Union done along the lines of the Constitution (basically 3/4 of states amending the Constitution to make it null and void) and unilateral secession as practiced by the southern states. Maybe the distinction escapes you.
