Secession

became much more concerning as the threat of succession of the pro-slavery Southern states started to become more prominent. Over the course of a decade, many historic events occurred that led to the downfall of the nation, which is now known as the “secession crisis.” These events triggered a fear within the entire nation, some provoking one region more than the other. Both sides took many losses and gains, but the outcome was a divide in the country…

The legality of secession is an argument still hotly debated in the United States today. In light of the recent presidential election, the issue has resurfaced with vigor; states on the west coast, for example, have proposed a secession from the Union under the name “Cascadia.” The same argument was made in the years leading up to the the civil war of the late 1800s, during which Southern states relinquished their membership of the Union.

Although stylistically, Klimt 's work is formally ordered and decorative while Schiele 's work is unforgiving in its brutality. An example that displays this duality in their work and similar…

The major flaw of the theory that secession is never legitimate is that it relies on a definition of legitimacy which only considers the legal dimension of legitimacy, and which completely neglects to…

This debate depends on many aspects including the relation between Article of Confederation and the U.S constitution and the interpretation of the State right. Since there was no precedent, the constitutionality of the secession of South Carolina was remain in myth.
