You are correct they did list their complaints, But that wasn't the point of Mr Hudson post. He seemed to be saying that the southern states could only secede under the Declaration of Independence if the United States put troops in their home. And that is BS.

That is not what the opening paragraphs of that documents said. The actual complaints were immaterial. It was a statement that as a free people, the people had the right to change their government whenever they wished. That free people rule over the government, not that Government rules over a free people.

And that had always been the argument of the Unionist. That Government has a right to rule over the people. That is the whole point of both the Declaration and the Constitution is that the people are the "actual" government and that the people who sit in Washington D. C. are their servants, not their masters.
