Examine one state’s declaration from The Declarations of Causes of Seceding States on the American Battlefield Trust website and scan the various excerpts from the National Park Service’s Why Confederate Soldiers Fought document. In your first post, explain to what degree you think the aims of the average soldier and the aims of the state secession conventions were the same or different. In a second post, respond to one of your classmate’s posts, using evidence from either the declarations or the statements of soldiers.
