Minutes of the Presbytery of South Carolina Spring Session
Whereas the President of the United States has declared the
Confederate States to be in a state of insurrection, and has
called for an army of seventy-five thousand men to aid the
regular army inquelling this pretended insurrection, and has
collected a large fleet to make a descent upon our coast, thereby
inaugurating civil war, therefore
Resolved that it is inexpedient to appoint any of our mem-
bers to represent this Presbytery in the General Assembly,
about to convene in Philadelpia, in the midst of the enemies
of our peace and of our rights.
