[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]Did a colony have the right renounce the authority of the Crown and Parliament and to leave the Empire?[/QUOTE]No. [QUOTE]State's rights with slavery as the catalyst. I'm not at home now so I can't check but didn't Lincoln say something along the lines of "If I could save the Union by freeing all the slaves I would do it, if I could save the Uniuon by freeing none of the slaves, I would do it and if I could save the Union by freeing some slaves and leavings others as they are I would do it" Which seems to imply that the welfare of African Americans wasn't exactly at the top of the US govts agenda.[/QUOTE]The Confederate states were motivated by what they saw as a growing movement in the North to end slavery. This included declarations in states such as Massachussets that slavery was unConstitutional. Yes, that is a Lincoln quote. [/QB][/QUOTE]
