State Sovereignty and the Right of Secession: An Historical and Constitutional Defense of the Southern Position

For the past 150 years, the American people have been led to believe that the Southern States committed treason when they seceded from the Union in 1861, and then took up arms to validate their claim to independence. But was secession really treasonous? In this book, the author outlines the constitutional and historical arguments that support the doctrine of State sovereignty and the inherent right of secession.
