This book deals with the practical rather than theoretical aspects of state rights in action. It concentrates on the programs by which Confederate governors and general assemblies sought to relieve domestic crises, trying to protect and maintain as nearly as possible normal economic, social, and political institutions. Secession conventions are a part of the investigation insofar as their ordinances initiated or supplemented policies of the legislatures. Finally, this study describes in the light of deteriorating local and national conditions the ultimate failure of the states to meet the needs and maintain the morale of the Southern people. . . . . . . .
