People think that North was following every single rule and law at the time of the Confederacy and the Union is untrue. Neither the Union or the states enclosed by it were obligated to the laws that were made to be followed. For many years these laws such as the Fugitive Slave Act were executed which was favorable. Years later most of the North decides to create laws that would nullify all others. “Thus the constituted compact has deliberately broken and disregarded… that South carolina is released from her obligation to stay in the Union” (Document G) Not once did the North follow the direct protocol for finding a slave and turn it over to the the State Government. This entitles South Carolina to officially isolate herself from the Union.
