A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union. 密西西比州脱离联邦的直接正当理由宣言

In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.本州决定解除长期以来与联邦政府的联系，在做出重大决策的同时，我们应当宣明做出此决策的主要原因。

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.我们的立场与奴隶制完全一致——奴隶制能带来无上的物质利益。依靠奴隶制生产的产品在世界市场中无可比拟、亦不可或缺。这些产品尤其适宜热带气候，而根据大自然的铁律，只有黑人才能忍受得了热带地区的烈日高温。既然这些产品是世界不可或缺的，因此任何针对奴隶制的攻击，都是对世界市场和世界文明的攻击。而针对奴隶制的攻击长期以来从未停止，且即将取得成功。鉴于当前，联邦政府成立的原则已然被颠覆，联邦政府成为了毁灭我们的工具，我们别无选择，只得接受废除或解散联邦的天命。我们宣称自己的制度受到存亡威胁，并非危言耸听，下述事件将兹以证明。
