Overview

This historical document contains the official record of the ""Ordinances of the State Convention,"" which convened in Little Rock, Arkansas, on May 6, 1861. Presided over by David Walker, this convention addressed the pivotal question of secession from the Union amidst the escalating tensions leading to the American Civil War. The ordinances detail the legal and political framework established by the convention, reflecting the state's decision-making process during this critical period. This volume offers invaluable insights into the arguments, motivations, and legislative actions undertaken by Arkansas as it navigated the complexities of secession and aligned itself with the Confederate States of America. A vital resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the legal and political dimensions of the Civil War era.
