FACTS ABOUT SECESSION O F M SO UTH ’ " ” "Compiled from Ivfiss Rutherford s Scrap Book "

It was not a CIVIL WA R as this was not between t wo parties in the same State .

Wa r SECESSI N s It was not of O , as the Southern State

e seced d with no thought of war .

wa WA R O SECT I NS It s not a F O , but both sides were contending for a principle .

9 WA R O REBELLI N S O VERI It was not a F O , for EIC N STA T S E cannot rebel . IT WA S T HE WA R BETWEEN T HE STA TES for

the no n r seceding States of the United States made war upon the seceding States to force them back into t h e

Union .

The real cause of the Wa r Between the States was

Interference with State rights as given in the C o nst it u f

tion of the United States .

Seven times before 18 60 the righ t of withdrawing 6 from the Union had been formally claimed , times by

New E C O nS t It U ' ngland States , but Lincoln violated the

tion when , without the consent of Congress , he called for

volunteers to force back the seceding States .

The South seceded without any thought of war . They withdrew a nd formed a government which would respect

C o nst it u ' their rights as given by the Constitution . The

tion gave the State int erferred with the right to secede .

The rights O f the Southern States we r e rpa t dly inter :

ferred with , such as when Congress limited her territorial 18 20 18 33 rights in , made tariff laws unjust to them in ,

a le gave unjust distribution of money from the Treasury ,

18 5 0 v s lowed the Compromise of to be iolated , and Pre ident Lincoln was elected by the fifteen States which VIO '

lated the compromise .

The South never violated the Constitution , the North

violated it seventeen times .

The South seceded from the violators of the Consti ' n t ut io .

' Wa r was caused by the breaking of an armistice and

forcing the firing on Ft . Sumter

The surrender was caused by men being over : powered by The CAUSE was not lost"as the principle for which

r the South fought, interfe ence with State Rights , still

exists .
