Re: The Four Declarations of Causes

Let me also say that in the case of Mississippi's "declaration of causes" it was one of the last documents produced AFTER secession was decided on. It was an after-thought and put together by a hand-full of people. The overall bulk of the convention was how to form a government and was very detailed in that operation of the convention. The vote for secession in Mississippi's case was a predetermined conclusion and didn't need this "declaration". It was the reverse of the formation of the United States in 1776.
