The Embargo Act of 1807 was a direct result of the impressment of American ships, goods and men by the British during a time of conflict throughout the United States, Britain and France.

Arguments for the legality of secession

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

- The U.S. colonists seceded from Great Britain simply because they did not like the taxes King George had imposed, and the taxes were reasonable. They were simply to make up for the money that was lost while defending the colonists, but they decided to revolt and secede in order to create a government they thought just.

- The natural god given rights is life, liberty, and property. To deny someone the ability to secede would be to deny one his/her right to all three of these rights.

- Entering the union was a voluntary act; therefore it should be legal to leave the union whenever any one state pleases.
