The . several southern atates in their ordinances of session announoed as their reason for quitting the Union was "tUe election of a man (Abraham Lincoln) to the high office of President of the Unitjd States, whose opinions and purposes are hos tile to sltvery." . ... The Confederacy was -organized at Montgomery, Alabama on r eb. 4, 1667 by the eieUjon 'fil Jefferson Davis President, and Alexander H Stephens Vioe Pr eldent. In March following, the Vice Presi dent Alexander K Stephens in a publio address at Savannaha Ueorgla In ex planatory of why the South went Into revolution, said: "Alrloan slavery aa It exists among us, is the proper status of tbe negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the present revolu tion. The. prevailing Ideas entertained by Jefferson and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were that the enslavement of the African was In vio lation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong In prinoiple, socially, mor ally and politically. It was. an evil they knew not well how to deal with; but the general opinion of the men of that day was that somehow or other, in the order of Providenoe, the insti tution won !d be evanescent and , ass away, xnese Ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong They rested oa the assumption ol th equality of the races. Our new government Is (mud ed upon exactly tbe opsoslte ideas; it foundations are laid, and Its corner stone rests upon, the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slsvery to the superior race is his natural and normal oonditlon," We Can Interest You In Our Line .
