Description

Excerpt from John C. Calhoun and the Secession Movement of 1850 It has been truly said that state rights apart from sectionalism have never been a serious hinderance to the progress of national unity; on the other hand sectionalism is by its very nature incipient dis union, as its ultimate goal is political independence for a group of states.ll Prior to the Civil War there were numerous instances of the assertion of state rights. Almost every state in the Union at some time declared its own sovereignty but on other occasions denounced as treasonable similar declarations by other states. Only, however, when the doctrine of state rights has been laid hold of as an effective Shibboleth by some particular section of the country, to give an appearance of legality to its opposition to measures of the federal government, has the doctrine threatened the integrity of the Union.
