Confederate imprint "PROCEEDINGS AT THE FORTY-THIRD GRAND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE M.W. Grand Lodge of ANCIENT, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS, of the STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, Held at the Masonic Hall, in the City of Vicksburg, January 21, 22, and 23...1861." Printed in Natchez, 271pp. octavo, lacks covers, with listing of all the halls and members in the state. Includes several prominent Confederates. Fine condition. Mississippi was the second state to secede from the United States on January 9, 1861 and one of the states to declare the formation of the Confederacy on February 8, 1861. The state's declaration of secession provides one of the clearest connections between secession and slavery.
