The legal resolutions passed by the southern state legislatures are THE single best source of information for the reasons behind southern secession. They were debated, voted upon, and approved by actual elected representatives. That's uncontroverted.
Everything else is spin, argument, and individual opinions of various people. Not voted on, etc..
The legal resolutions passed by the southern state legislatures are THE single best source of information for the reasons behind southern secession. I think money is the best source of information. Mouths lie, but dollars flow. Follow the flow and you will get the truth. Listen to mouths and they may or may not speak the truth.
Money always speaks the truth.
