President Lincoln discussed the perpetual union theory of the United States. He argued that even though the Constitution doesn't talk about the Union being united through the Constitution, he talks about how the Union happened before the Constitution. In the Articles of Confederation (which was the agreement of government before the Constitution) states that "Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled." This was not mentioned in the Constitution. Furthermore, in Article 1 Section 10 Clause 1 of the Constitution states that "no state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation" this means that the South could not legally create the Confederacy.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis spoke to a crowd of Southerners in February 1862. He described the early military strategy of the Confederacy. The objective had been to protect every part of the South from attacks by the Union. This was a logical idea in that recruits were needed from all Southern states and that would be reduced wherever Union forces controlled Southern territory. This also would protect supplies needed by the military. Additionally, it was a political necessity to protect all the states that placed themselves at great risk by joining the Confederacy.
