The second article in a series about the Civil War has been published in History Is Now Magazine. This article explores a topic that historians have largely ignored: the reasons for the secession of the Upper South. It's an excellent read for anyone interested in gaining insight and access to original sources to challenge the misconception that secession was about slavery.

The turning of the Constitution from an agreement of independent states into "a sacred unbreakable union", was quite a work of alchemy by Lincoln and the Republican theorists that transformed the peaceful breakup of the states into a full blown war of conquest and domination.

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit."

It was a puritanical war of aggression.

In my book Defending Dixie's Land, I argue that the Southern states seceded for multiple reasons, with slavery being just one of them and not the primary cause. Slavery was a cause for the Cotton States (not the Upper South) but had more to do with state rights than the preservation of human bondage. My latest article addresses this subject.

My latest article in History Now Magazine briefly examines the Confederate Constitution's divergence from the original U.S. Constitution, which leaned towards more libertarian, decentralized, and conservative principles.
