Adopted on March 11, 1861, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America was the supreme law of the Southern states during the American Civil War. The historical document is quite enlightening for everyone interested in the reasons for the outbreak of the secession war and in the process of formation of the United States of America. The edition is especially valuable for comparison with the current text of North American constitution.The text of the Constitution of the Confederate States was largely based on the text of the North American Constitution, but inevitably there are stormy passages seeking the perpetuation of slavery at our territory.
