Who was Philip Bazaar? Seaman in the Union Navy who won the Congressional Medal of Honor

How were States' Rights a cause of the civil war? Southern leaders believed that slavery was a states' rights issue, protected by the 10th amendment.

What did Lincoln believe about the Union of States? Lincoln was clear and consistent over time: the Union must be PRESERVED (saved).
How did Confederate President Jefferson Davis justify secession from the United States? Leaving the Union was a necessity, just like leaving Great Britain was a necessity in 1776.
