Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England
The American Civil War, referenced as the moment when opposed sectional beliefs about slavery came to a head.
It will not be denied that, at the outbreak of the War of Secession, there were to be found in the South many fervent enthusiasts for slavery (or rather for the social system of which it was a necessary part), just as there were to be found in the North a far greater number of ardent enthusiasts for abolition.
in the South, on the other hand, the maintenance of slavery developed into a fixed policy, and before the War of Secession the “peculiar institution” had become the foundation-stone of the social system.
The year 1865 brought to an end the War of Secession.
Lectures on the Early History of Institutions
The American Civil War, referenced as the resolution of the dormant anarchy over sovereignty in the United States.
Fitzjames Stephen, insists that there is a condition of dormant anarchy, and the reservation is doubtless made to meet such cases as that of the United States before the War of Secession.
