Would self-determination have argued in favor of the secession of the south?
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Would self-determination have argued in favor of the secession of the south? Perhaps, if that is what the people in the South (and not just those in positions of relative legal privilege) wanted. But I doubt that, for example, the 55% of Mississippi's population that was in slavery was particularly energized about secession to preserve the right of their masters to keep them in slavery, though.
