“Slavery and Secession: The Role of Slavery in the Formation of the Confederate States of America”

Read the Declaration of Causes of Secession for Texas or South Carolina and the Confederate States of America Constitution, Article I (one) Section 9, and Article IV (four) Section 2, part 3. Write an essay that explains how state secession and the formation of the confederacy were closely related to the institution of slavery. Your essay should identify the states and leaders who established the CSA, as well as identifying significant references to slavery in the source documents, and explain whether slavery was linked to economic, political and/or social factors.
