"The Eastern states must and will dissolve the Union and form a separate government." --Senator James Hillhouse, Connecticut
"Throughout this struggle, the right of a state to withdraw from the Union was not disputed." --Historian Edward Powell, Nullification and Secession in the United States, when speaking of the secession movement in the New England states
Could you please tell us where you found them, and give the date of Sen. Hillhouse's remark and of the Powell book? Who was Powell, and what was his background? Is he well regarded? Can one see his book somewhere? Publisher, political background, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Richard F.
Puzzling ... I wonder what this Powell actually was, or did, or wrote.
Glad to see more, if anyone can find it. And do be sure to read all of DiLorezo's columns ... they are the source of much here.
Cheers,
Richard F.
