description This article discusses the ratification of the Confederate constitution and the recent formation of the Confederate States. It defends secession, praises the actions and intent of the people, and predicts a bright future for the new government: "With such an auspicious beginning, with the prospect of speedy recognition by the great powers of Europe; with a system of labor forming the strongest and most enduring basis on which the fabric of society can be reared; possessing a territory stretching through several degrees of latitude and embracing the finest qualities of soil and climate, capable of producing in almost unlimited quantities the staples which control the markets of the work; with a people united, brave and intelligent; with statesmen experienced, capable, high minded and patriotic, to guide the wheels of government, it needs no prophecy to foretell for the new confederacy a career of prosperity, wealth and future greatness."
