Then by all means, cite the specific complaints in the Declaration that were among the south’s reasons.

Well, consider this passage in the context of some radicals actually trying to justify John Brown's activities at Harper's Ferry.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of war-fare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

But again, it is really the grievance admitted by Webster, even in denouncing the very idea of disunion, in his classic 1850 address, which goes to the lack of respect for partners in a once honorable coming together (Webster Address.)

People like Washington & the Virginia Lees, understood America as a project among honorable men, who respected one another & their respective contributions, but sometimes differing perspectives.
