Flapjack is wrong. State sovereignity was, and still is, the real issue. It was something that began to be eroded as early as the 1830s. There were great and bitter debates and denunciations flung back and forth in Congress about it and splashed across the pages of the Eastern press. To wit: "Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever." Slavery was the issue -- but the true concept on trial was federalism vs. State's Rights. FT
