Issues from the 1860 Alexandria Gazette are chock-full of orations from
both sides of this subject. In addition, there are almost daily accounts
of the debate...obviously more numerous as the secession vote gets
closer. I don't think you can get any better than that, if you can stand
the microfilm -- or are lucky enough to find transcriptions.
I learned a great deal reading these newspapers. You could easily
photocopy appropriate articles as they tend to appear in the same place
within the newspaper on any given day... editorials and Letters to the
Editor under interesting "nom de plumes" are entertaining and
stimulating...

Subject: Is there an article/chapter length study of the Virginia
secession movement?
Query--I am looking for a good brief and readable account/analysis that
I
can assign to undergraduates.
I know the article literature is scant, because I've done the usual
bibliographic searches. Unless it is under an odd title, I don't think
it
exists.
Suggestions?
Best,
Kevin
