| | Reader's Companion to American History - -SECESSION |
 | | Secession in this instance and throughout the antebellum period came to mean the assertion of minority sectional interests against what was perceived to be a hostile or indifferent majority. | | | Theoretically, secession was bound up closely with Whig thought, which claimed the right of revolution against a despotic government. | | | All these groups, however, were united in support of the doctrine of secession. |

| | In addition to his persistent opposition to secession, the hero of San Jacinto considered the drafting of a constitution and the joining of the state to the Confederacy without extensive public debate and another public referendum to be unconstitutional. | | | On February 23, 1861, Texas went to the polls and voted for or against secession. | | | Ties to political parties and ideology could in some cases determine attitudes toward secession. |

| | Nor is secession to be confused with the mere right to emigrate, even when one is allowed to take one’s property out of the country. | | | One of the grounds upon which so called libertarians oppose secession, the right to be left alone politically speaking, is that those who wish to secede might be less than fully perfect in various ways. | | | If freedom of association in the realm of affirmative action is the right to discriminate, and in the field of labor the right to hire a "scab," then when it comes to the political realm, it is the right to secession. |

| | With respect to (b) the Remedial Right Only Theory begins with the presumption that existing states that are accorded legitimacy under international law have valid claims to their territories but then argues that such claims can be overridden or extinguished in the face of persistent patterns of serious injustices towards groups within the state. | | | We discover below that the most serious objections to the two varieties of Primary Right Theories question the cogency of their accounts of exactly what it is that gives a group within this state a claim to a portion of the territory claimed by the state. | | | Remedial Right Only Theories analogize the right to secede to the right to revolution, understanding it as a right that a group comes to have only as a result of violations of other rights. |
