Synopsis
Dr. Frank Lawrence Owsley makes the assertion that the principle of "State Rights" or "State Sovereignty" was the main cause of the downfall of the Confederacy during the Civil War, and that all other causes prescribed by scholars, though important in their own way, were not the ultimate reason for the dissolution of the state itself. Systematically, Owsley lays out a thorough argument that details how the lack of central authority in key areas of war led to in-fighting that essentially turned the states into disparate entities with no amalgamating principle.
