A Constitutional History of Secession

Book Description
UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO anyone who spoke of secession as a legal right could expect to be scoffed at as the advocate of a permanently outmoded idea. In recent decades, however, separatist movements have appeared across Europe and North America. Peoples are seeking to reclaim their self-government from centralized nation[1]states and secession can now be seriously discussed. John Remington Graham has brought his considerable knowledge to the question. He finds that secession is form of peaceable and lawful revolution rooted in the English Revolution of 1688 and 1689, usable today as in the past, and a living part of Anglo-American constitutional law and tradition. Clyde Wilson, an eminent scholar of the statesman John C. Calhoun, has said of this work, "Had I the power, I would require every professor of history, political science, and law in America to read Graham's work. Nowhere is there a truer and more thorough treatment of the real origins and nature of freedom and self-government. This work is essential for those who would like to recover those great blessings."

Break It Up
Author: Richard KreitnerPublisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316510599
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
From journalist and historian Richard Kreitner, a "powerful revisionist account"of the most persistent idea in American history: these supposedly United States should be broken up (Eric Foner). The novel and fiery thesis of Break It Up is simple: The United States has never lived up to its name—and never will. The disunionist impulse may have found its greatest expression in the Civil War, but as Break It Up shows, the seduction of secession wasn’t limited to the South or the nineteenth century. It was there at our founding and has never gone away. With a scholar’s command and a journalist’s curiosity, Richard Kreitner takes readers on a revolutionary journey through American history, revealing the power and persistence of disunion movements in every era and region. Each New England town after Plymouth was a secession from another; the thirteen colonies viewed their Union as a means to the end of securing independence, not an end in itself; George Washington feared separatism west of the Alleghenies; Aaron Burr schemed to set up a new empire; John Quincy Adams brought a Massachusetts town’s petition for dissolving the United States to the floor of Congress; and abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison denounced the Constitution as a pro-slavery pact with the devil. From the “cold civil war” that pits partisans against one another to the modern secession movements in California and Texas, the divisions that threaten to tear America apart today have centuries-old roots in the earliest days of our Republic. Richly researched and persuasively argued, Break It Up will help readers make fresh sense of our fractured age.
