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 first article addressed Abraham Lincoln's White supremacists views
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.
