What is the process for seceding from the union?

There is no acceptable, legal process for seceding from the Union. In 1861, believing they had the legal right to secede, 7 states held votes of their legislatures and passed secession bills. The states notified the federal government that they were no longer in the Union. Later 4 other states joined the 7 Confederate states. The outgoing president, James Buchanan, stated that the secession was illegal but that he did not believe the government had a right to send military force to quell the breakaway movement. President Lincoln, upon taking office, received the justification for military action when South Carolina militia and military school students fired on Fort Sumter. The Union's military victory over the secessionists effectively eliminated the idea that states could decide to leave the Union.

When you justify a paragraph is each line of a block of text equal distance from the left and right margins?

In typesetting justify is used in connection with left, right and force. In a left justified paragraph each line of text is aligned on the left margin. Right justify has text aligned along the right margin. Force justify creates a paragraph aligned on both the left and right margins.


Tell the goal Lincoln and his supporters hoped to achieve by fighting the Civil War?

Most people today believe that Lincoln and his supporters were trying to abolish slavery by fighting a civil war. But if you go back to the real history, documents and letters, you will find out that they were keeping the southern states from seceding from the Union. This is a very debatable topic, seceding from the Union, Many say that is the southern states had left, England would have taken over North America. But if you review the US Constitution you will remember that it is the right of every state to seceding from the Union with out conflict. But because of Lincoln and his supporters, only Texas has that right today; well, as of right now. A great book to read is "A Century of war: Lincoln, Wilson & Roosevelt" by Denson


Did the slave states of the south have the right to leave the union and create the confederate states of America?
