While you are doing your research, make sure you look up the Cherokee Causes also. Many of those who debate against the CSA and bid us "look at the documents" frequently leave that one out. Remember, you can trust the government. Ask any Indian.

Also, make sure you look at what else was said in the Causes as well as the Ordinaces from specifically Virginia, Missouri, and Arkansas. Additionally, ,remember the secession dates of the last 4 states. If they seceded over slavery, they took their precious time about it. Until, say, DC decided to call up their various militias to march upon their bretheren.
