    The secession papers specifically cite the failure of the federal government to enforce the federal law, which is exactly what I said. You’ve restated what I said in your second paragraph, which flies in the face of your first paragraph.

    Secession was not he reason for secession. Secession was the only issue in which the Confederate states advanced states’ rights as an argument supporting their position.
