Book Description
Is secession legal under the United States Constitution? "One
Nation, Indivisible?" takes a fresh look at this old question by evaluating
the key arguments of such anti-secession men as Daniel Webster and Abraham
Lincoln, in light of reason, historical fact, the language of the
Constitution, and the words of America's Founding Fathers. Modern
anti-secession arguments are also examined, as are the questions of why
Americans are becoming interested in secession once again, whether
secession can be avoided, and how an American state might peacefully secede
from the Union.
From the Publisher
"The federal government's growth of power at the expense of
individuals and natural human communities has been the trend so long now
that it has seemed inevitable. But thoughtful people of late have been
rediscovering the true decentralist origins of the United States. Robert
Hawes states the case beautifully for the forgotten decentralist tradition
- which may be our only hope for the preservation of freedom."
- Clyde Wilson, professor of history, University of South Carolina
