Should the actual text of the resolution be corrected for errors? That is, are misspellings and grammatical errors in the original, or errors unique to Wikipedia? Wmahan. 04:18, 2004 Apr 15 (UTC)
This interpretation is highly POV, and blatantly an attempt to prove that the American Civil War was not about slavery. It needs a better discussion of the political context, particularly the political calculus of maintaining control of the upper South, not to mention the close relationship between slavery and secession. The errors are of omission.
On the vote see Congressional Globe, 37th Congress, 1st session, pp. 223 and 265. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megnal (talk • contribs) 04:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Shifting sentiment
editIs it just me, or does the body of the article only explain how it "passed almost unanimously in July" and not how "it was defeated by a decisive majority in December"? DAVilla (talk) 04:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
