The North & the South and Secession: An Examination of Cause and Right
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The first of a four part series by Marian Publications examining the great American conflict of the mid-19th century. A unique examination from a traditional Catholic historical perspective wherein the author examines the cultural, political, and circumstantial causes of what is known as the Civil War, and does so from the Catholic and biblical view of authority while making proper philosophical distinctions. He demonstrates that the idea of the "sovereignty of the people" does not justify the right of secession as most Southerners hold. But a true principle in accord with God's revelation and Natural Law does justify the Southern cause. This book explains what it is. Using sound logic Mr. Miller also addresses numerous questions such as:
- Who was constitutionally in the right?
- Where does political authority actually reside in the United States?
- Was the war really fought over slavery as most Americans think?
- Was it a "Civil War" in the true sense of the term?
An eye-opening book!
