Original Note:
Five states published explicit declarations for the reason they intended to secede from the Union. The word "slave" appears 83 times across the documents. As well as several references to "fugitives" i.e., escaped slaves. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states
