ton at the expense of the other kept
the sections continually quarreling.
Sometimes compromise was made,
which seemed to settle things for a
while, but the great underlying prin-
ciple that the South contended for,
the right of State to withdraw from
the Union when she had just cause
to do so, could not be settled so easily.
On the question of loyalty, no one
today doubts the supreme loyalty of
the South to her principles. The men
who wore the Gray have left behind
a legacy of valor and of liberty to
their fellow countrymen, which is rec
ognized as a part of the national in
heritance.

the part Of the more powerful. Be-
fore ratifying the Constitution, Vir-
ginia, New York and Rhode Island re-
served the right to withdraw when
ever they found just cause to do so.
The Southern States were not the
first to threaten to secede. In 1872.
New England expressed such an in
tention, as did Massachusetts in 1874,
when the annexation of Texas was
being discussed.
The labor question caused much
disturbance between the sections. In
the beginning all the colonies had
slaves But in time slavery was
abolished in the North, where manufac-
turing became the chief industry, but
it flourished in the South, where un.
skilled labor was profitable. Many
times the southern people considered
ways and means to abolish slavery,
but the question what to do with these
helpless people made them hesitate,
so slavery remained, and caused much
discussion between the sections.
With the growth of our country, i'm
migration being always on the in
crease, there came many people whose
ideas of union, were entirely differ
ent from those of the founders of our
Constitution. They saw only a beau
tiful fertile land where at last they
might make permanent home and
enjoy the blessing of liberty. The
North received these immigrants, al
most entirely, and when the question
OF States Rights was discussed be-
tween the two sections, and threats
of secession made, these people
thought only of preserving the Union
at any cost, not understanding the at
titude taken by either section.

THE CAUSES OF THE WAR T
TWEEN THE STATES.

OHe OF the DlOOOleSJ wars IN the
history of our country was that in
which the North and South fought for
supremacy. For four long years the
whole Of our country was torn apart
by the fierce battles, and for many
years afterwards the South suffered
terribly.
This war, known in history as the
Civil War, grew out of a difference
of opinion about some clauses in the
constitution. This difference of opin-
ion, however, was result of the man
ner Of development and the varied in
terests of the different sections.
From the very beginning, there were
different ideas of government, occu-
pations, customs and thought, because
the colonies were founded separately,
had little communication with each
other, and thus early sectional differ
ences made themselves felt.
Even when they were all Joined in
a common cause, the American Revo-
luton, to achieve their independence,
each state maintained its absolute SOW
ereignty. and owed no allegiance to
the other.
When the Constitution was being
drawn up" each state feared to give
up any Of its rights, and the smaller
states dreaded an interference on
