Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secession an Absurdity: It Is Perjury, Treason War; To Which Are Added Treason Defined, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution of the United States Tm: definition of Treason, in Art. 3, sec. 3, of the Constitution of the United States, though brief, would seem to be sufficiently explicit without a commentary. The idea that the crime of treason can, in a single sovereign nation, be committed against twenty-seven sovereign powers, seems too extravagant to need refutation. But since the several States have their acts upon treason, and since one of the purest and best men in one of them is now under sentence of solitary imprisonment for life for an alleged offence against one of these act a feeling of humanity, no less than of watchful vigilance for liberty, demands of every friend of free government, an impartial examination ofthe validity of such a procedure. To diffuse the Constitution itself in a form convenient for the pocket of every individual, is deemed to be the best mode of making known the supreme law of the land. If this attempt to expose the abuse of one of its important provisions shall be received with favour by the public, other similar abuses may hereafter be sought to be corrected in the same manner.

Download or read book Is Secession Treason written by Albert Bledsoe and published by Anza Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Robert E. Lee uttered to Albert Bledsoe these important words: "You have a great work to do; we all look to you for our vindication." The "work" Lee was referring to was in essence a Confederate political bible, that would clarify and explain the principles of self-determination upon which the Secession from the United States of America was based. Bledsoe was truly inspired to write a most deftly argued book defending the South's "unthinkable" action. This treatise, originally called Is Davis a Traitor?, is finally returned to print in a new edition, with a new preface and index. Albert Taylor Bledsoe (1809-1877) could be characterized as a traditionalist, an "unreconstructed Southerner," a fighter for various causes and a firm believer in the dangers of modernism and foreign influence. Yet he was no stooge working for the Southern "Brahmins"- he was an intelligent man of letters, soldier and educator, clergyman and lawyer, friend of wealthy men, social investigator, and seasoned traveler. Because of his intellectual perspicacity, and his connections to important leaders in the South, he became an apologist for the Southern Confederacy, and the pre-war Southern "mentality." Is Secession Treason? represents the pinnacle of Bledsoe's work. The centerpiece of his position is the critical distinction between the words "constitution" and "compact." Drawing from the texts of numerous political and philosophical documents, he presents ample justification for the assertion that the union of former colonies in the 1780s was voluntary and not perpetual, and their inherent independence was not taken away by their acceding to the "compact" that joined them. Limitation on the power of thecentral authority over the states was actually a key factor in the minds of the participants attending the Constitutional Convention, as the author so ably proves. In the pursuit of honesty and openness, Bledsoe strives to present both sides of the debate, and states with great clarity and force the positions of Webster, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, Calhoun and many others. After careful reflection and analysis, he arrives at two powerful conclusions: Secession was allowed under the Constitution, and the military attack by the Federal government on the Confederacy was illegal. So well-reasoned were his arguments, that his book proved to be a source of material for the defense of Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, from charges of treason. Despite Albert Bledsoe's unwavering devotion to his beloved homeland, one could say that his treatise is more of a fair and balanced treatment of Secession, than many recently published works covering the same subject. Paul Dennis Sporer has edited other books that contribute to the understanding of the complex social and political dynamics of the American Civil War period, such as End of an Era, by John Sergeant Wise, Half a Century, by Jane Swisshelm, and Tupelo by James Hill Aughey.

Book excerpt: This new Liberty Fund edition of James McClellan's classic work on the quest for liberty, order, and justice in England and America includes the author's revisions to the original edition published in 1989 by the Center for Judicial Studies.

Particular emphasis is placed on federalism and the separation of powers. These features of the book, together with its extensive and unique historical illustrations, make this new edition of Liberty, Order, and Justice especially suitable for introductory classes in American Government and for high school students in advanced placement courses.
