This lengthy work presents a historical sketch of the events that came before and during the Southern states' effort to preserve their existence and rights as sovereign communities. Its argument rests on the view that the states, not a central government, created the Union, and that they joined together by choice without giving up their separate sovereignty. The author looks back to the early republic, asking whether anyone in the years after independence would have accepted the idea of merging the states into one consolidated nation. Written to defend the Confederate cause, the book offers readers a window into how its author framed the conflict.
