Secession, an American
tradition. Tested by the
Constitution, the Courts and
public opinion. Above all it's
been tested by the blood of
patriots and traitors.
Oppression led to the
secession of the American
colonies in the late 1700s after
the settling of the east 200
years prior by Great Britain.
Revolution and secession an
incredibly difficult task because
in the days of early America, the
colonies be they Massachusetts
or Pennsylvania, Virginia or
Georgia were considered your
homeland. You were a subject of
your colony and the fact that they
all banded together despite the
prevailing allegiance to Britain,
the Revolutionary War made the
reality of the birth of America
stranger than fiction.
America was an incredibly
diverse land. The North quickly
industrialized and was inhabited
primarily, by #ee. ~men--though
indentured peolO[e and slaves
were not unknown. The South
was primarily agrarian with an
economy based on a slave laboL
Conflict between the North
were unreasonable tariffs
placed on them that benefited
the North. South Carolinians
were so incensed that they
threatened secession. Jackson,
even though a Southerner, felt so
strongly about the Federal right
as opposed to the states' rights
that he petitioned Congress to
allow him to use Federal troops
to enforce the Federal laws.
Henry Clay was able to introduce
compromise legislation to reduce
tariffs while enforcing Jackson's
view of nullification and avoid
.Violence in the South.
Prior to the secession of the
Southern states the United
States took a hands off attitude
toward the secession of Texas
which was fighting its war l
with Mexico to become a free
republic. Mexico which originally
encouraged immigrants to settle
this huge area found themselves
overwhelmed by the influx of
Americans which fought to free
themselves by seceding from
Mexico. In the battles which
began in 1835, more and more
Americans joined the fight. By
April of 1836 "Texians" had won
and formed the Republic of Texas.
By 1845 Texas was admitted to
the Union and became the 26th
State. Statehood was short lived
for Texas because in 1861 they
seceded from the United States
and joined the Confederate
States of America.
Another interesting little
known case of secession that
was condoned by the federal
government occurred during
the Civil War. The western part
of Virginia had_lit.tie in common
witrt" the ~r~rger agr~riarf 'and
slave holding portion of the
state. It was mountainous,
and its economy was driven
by coal and social attitudes
were more in common with its
and South regarding slavery
was not a new issue that .neighbors in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Kentucky. When Virginia
reared its head in the 1860s.
It had been a point 'of conflict•
since our early days under the
Articles of Confederation and
before. In the late 1780s during
the Constitutional Convention,
slavery was a stumbling block.
in joining the nation under one
federal government.
The three fifths compromise
put forward by James Madison
carried the day and became
seceded in t861 the counties
of the northwest where the
prevailing attitude was pro Union,
began holding conventions
regarding the issue of seceding
from Virginia and joining the
Union as a separate state. Of
course the Constitution forbade
this but an application was made
to Congress in May of 1862 for
statehood. With the proviso that

Slavery was given standing
as the population of slaves
were given a three fifths of a
person standing in regard to
representation and taxes on the
federal level: Of course slaves
could not vote. The fact is that
unless you were a free, white,
landholding male you could not
vote either. In effect what the
three fifths compromise did was
give nearly equal congressional
power to the Southern states.
That power gave the Southern
states nearly equal power of the
purse, the Electoral College and
leadership on Congressional
committees. Of the first fifteen
presidents prior to Lincoln, Eight
of them were from the South. Of
those first fifteen, ten of them
were either major slave holders
or at the least had slaves at one
point in their lives.
An early case of secession
in America came in 1832
during Andrew Jackson's term.
South Carolina threatened
nullification• to what they felt
l orts
were at odds with attempts at
banning the institution and were
inflamed at what they considered
unfair tariffs that favored
the North. The Buchannan
Presidency did little to ameliorate
the conflict because while he
felt that secession was illegal,
he also felt that the Federal
government could do little to
stop it. By the time Lincoln, who
was despised in the South took
office, seven states had already
seceded. Ultimately, eleven
states seceded.
In tile 1860s there was still
the prevailing• attitude that your
state was your country and that
if your state could elect to join
the Union it could legally dissolve
its association as well. Further,
they cited the Declaration of
Independence, that a country
could change governments
when it was no longer right for its
people. Additionallythey believed
that if the government could take
away the constitutional right to
own slaves, then the Constitution
held little sway in holding the
South to the Union. Lincoln went
