The Pros And Cons Of Arkansas

365 Words2 Pages

On May 6th, 1861 , Arkansas made one of the most idiotic choices it has ever made, it succeeded from the union. When the original vote took place , five delegates voted to not join the confederacy , but when asked to retake the vote, all but one had suddenly changed their mind. How would they so easily change their minds , probably because something else other than a convincing argument had been involved. All but one man said we should secede, so Arkansas did what the majority voted, but just because there is a majority, doesn’t make it right. Arkansas was in a extremely tight spot during the decision and that definitely impacted the final choice.

Davis, refused to swear an oath of loyalty to the confederacy and started a Texas U.S. cavalry to fight against it. During the war many Texans were unhappy with the Conscription Acts of 1862 because they exempted slave owners of 20 or more slaves from Confederative service. After the war was over there was still a lot of discord among Texans. Some were angry at the men that did not fight for the Confederacy and others were angry at those who fought against the Union.

  • Toombs Speech Analysis

    958 Words  | 4 Pages

    Toombs believes that the South has the right to secede from the union. Toombs makes it clear in his speech that the Confederate states are pro slavery and the Union States are against slavery. In his speech Toombs states that “In 1820, the Northern party, endeavored to exclude the State of Missouri from admission into the Union, because she chose to protect African slavery in the new state.” When Toombs states this he is telling the people that the North made a bad decision when it came to Missouri wanting to be a part of the Union over slavery beliefs. Toombs also states in his speech that “Another one of our guarantees of the Constitution was, that fugitives from justice, committing crimes in one state and fleeing to another, should be delivered up by the State into which they might flee to the authorities of the State from whence they fled and where the crime was committed.”

  • Argument Against State Ratification

    After all the arguing, the ratification process was in full force. The responsive argument, according to Vandercoy, widely made was that Congress might be able to confine the existing militia force, all armed citizens, to a select militia made up of a small segment of the population. The delegates were trying to eliminate the possibility that game laws, used effectively in England at different points to disarm the population, would not produce a similar result in America. He summarizes the state ratification process; three states ratified while expressing their understanding that the people had a right to bear arms, and two states refused to ratify until individual rights were recognized as amendments.
