 SOUTHERN LOST CAUSE...
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the
government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the
prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material
interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest
and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the
climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the
black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become
necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization.
That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its
consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition,
or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.

-Mississippi Declaration of Secession, 1861

 SOUTHERN LOST CAUSE...
Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the
Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility [sic] and
secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people...She was
received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known
as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a
relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race,
and which her people intended should exist in all future time...That in this free
government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and
political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is
mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified
by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as
recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations
between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable
calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States.

-Texas Declaration of Secession, 1861

Alexander Stephens “Cornerstone Speech” 1861
“The prevailing ideas entertained by… most of the leading
statesmen at the time of the formation of the old
Constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was
in violation, of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in
principle, socially, morally and politically… Our new
government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its
foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests upon the great
truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that
slavery - subordination to the superior race - is his natural
and normal condition… Our new government, is the first, in
the history of the world, based upon this great physical,
philosophical, and moral truth.”
Alexander Stephens: “A Constitutional View of
the Late War Between the States” 1868

“The matter of slavery, so-called...was of infinitely less

importance to the Seceding States, than the
recognition of this great principle…

I say Slavery, so-called, because there was with us no

such thing as slavery in the full and proper sense of
that word. No people ever lived more devoted to the
principles of liberty, secured by free democratic
institutions, than were the people of the South.”
