Connections got a comment from Don who supplied a link to information in UNC's "Documenting the American South" website about the proceedings of the Secession Convention in South Carolina. He wrote:
You might be interested to see and read portions of the http://docsouth.unc.edu/imls/southcar/south.html">journal of the secession convention for South Carolina. The full version is around 800 pages long and contains the state's 1861 constitution and the Confederate Constitution as well. The very first item in this journal is the Ordinance of Secession itself, and then there are various supporting ordinances that follow. See this link that will connect you to UNC's "Documenting the American South" website. This page does not appear to contain the entire journal (no declarations, addresses, etc.), but it certainly contains the major ordinances along with the two constitutions.
Thank you, Don, for supplying supplemental information to the "Ordinance of Secession" entry.
