Connecting to a larger context Source: President James Buchanan, fourth annual message to Congress (December 3, 1860)
". . . All for which the slave States have ever contended, is to be let alone and permitted to manage their domestic institutions in their own way. As sovereign States, they, and they alone, are responsible before God and the world for the slavery existing among them. . . .
"The Southern States, standing on the basis of the Constitution, have a right to demand this act of justice from the States of the North. Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to which all the States are parties, will have been willfully violated by one portion of them in a provision essential to the domestic security and happiness of the remainder. In that event the injured States, after having first used all peaceful and constitutional means to obtain redress, would be justified in revolutionary resistance to the Government of the Union. . . ."

This excerpt from document two connects to when the abolition of slavery was truly beginning to happen. Buchanan was a democrat who morally was against slavery but seemed to think the Constitution protected the rights of slave owners. " Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to which all the States are parties, will have been willfully violated by one portion of them in a provision essential to the domestic security and happiness of the remainder" . Buchanan states simply that if the southeners are refused their " rights " to have slaves then the peace that Anti and Pro slavery people, will no longer exist. I am meeting the essay's requirements for contextualization because I am quoting the context directly and using the context to help inform my audience.
