Historians can gain insight from this excerpt reading about Southern secession .

The excerpt is part of the Constitution of the Confederate States, which were formed in 1861 when the south of the country was separated for reasons of political ideology of the northern states.

The victory of Abraham Lincoln, abolitionist, in the 1860 presidential elections was the final reason why the southern states of the United States, which supported slavery and based their agricultural economies on it, decided to separate and form their own country.

This situation ended up unleashing in the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, with the victory of the United States (north, abolitionists) over the Confederate States (south, slaves).
