Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Historian and constitutional scholar Albert Taylor Bledsoe
considers whether the secession of the Confederate states was legal
under constitutional law. The author poses the question: did
Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of
America, commit treason by initiating the secession and thereby
igniting the nation on a path to Civil War? Over the course of a
lengthy analysis, Bledsoe justifies the actions of Jefferson Davis
as lawful. Considering arguments both for and against Davis as a
traitor, we are taken through a series of proposals that quote the
U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Federalist
papers. Upon reading and explaining a multitude of passages, the
author arrives at the conclusion that states can lawfully leave the
Union if they so choose. Bledsoe goes further in his arguments,
saying that the Founding Fathers may have envisaged the prospect
for conflict and schism between the north and south.
