Lee'sGhost: "Interesting, in re to the SC secession document that you provided a link to, you have to go through 14 paragraphs of reasons as to why they felt compelled to secede before there is ANYTHING mentioned connected to slavery."

You misread it. It's only about slavery.

Here is the key statement:

"On the 4th day of March next, this party [abolitionist Republicans] will take possession of the Government.
It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals shall be made sectional, and that a war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States."

That is their key reason, and it is false.
