Is anyone able to point me in the direction of some sources that can give good background info on the Declaration from the Mississippi State Convention of 1861?

by ashejkckekxkckv

Specially, the 'declaration of the immediate causes which induce and justify the secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union'

Not looking for anything extensive, just a good source that has info on the author(s), signatories, and some general context. Thanks!
