Why South Rebelled
There are so many persons now In
the United States who were not here
when the South oeoeded In. 1801, that
do uot know why they attempted to go
out of the Union that tbe following
faots as a reminder of the real cause is
reproduced. 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,"
