Excerpt from Confederate Veteran, Vol. 37: August 1929

At last, the right to secede was hardly denied at the North. Dr. Bell quotes Dan Sickles' speech in Congress, December 10, 1860, declaring that no troops should ever pass through New York for the purpose of holding a State in the Union. And he quotes the New York Herald: The current of opinion seems to sit strongly in favor of a reconstruction of the Union without the New England States, etc. Likewise other papers voiced the legality of secession. But there was another View, and the Herald later said: The Union of the North with the South is the source of their prosperity, for by that Union the North reaps immense profits on Southern products by doing for the South its foreign trade, and thus accumulating capital which enables the North to establish factories and reap a second harvest from the South. That was the milk in the coconut.
