Slavery was only one of the rallying cries of Southerners when they withdrew. The main issue was whether a state had the right to determine its own domestic issues and the future of them or not. It was also about the States self-determination of their own economic futures and revenues.

If so, your assignment is to give the class one example from the 1860 secession crisis using primary sources only of an issue involving a "state's right to determine" or a state's "self-determination" that did not revolve around the issue of slavery. Remember -- primary sources only, not propagandists like DiLerenzo.

No propaganda here bozo, self-determination WAS the bottom line. But then with you damnYankee knobheads, the truth was always the first casualty of war.
