To create a mechanism whereby the former Confederate States be allowed to secede, provided that: (a) a majority of the inhabitants of each state votes for secession, and (b) prior to and as a condition of actual secession, each seceding state fully and completely compensates the United States of America full market value of all capital investments paid for by the United States in the seceding state, minus the proportion of that investment paid for by the citizens of that seceding state.
