Confederate Peace Proclamation and War Aims voiced in Congress

It defends secession as a response to aggression, pledges peace if the enemy ceases hostilities, and emphasizes liberty, self-government, and a universal right to independence. The document critiques Union coercion, asserts steadfast resolve, and calls for international consideration of the conflict’s causes and justice.
