Elected officials and judges have the title The Honorable.. If the district attorney you are addressing was elected in a general election... the indeed he or she would be The Honorable.

If I understand your question, the leaders of the confederacy  believed states had the right to secede from the Union. The  original Constitution made the States supreme in â¦ many matters.
The Southern slave states certainly would not declare secession unless being certain that they can succeed. They did, however, overestimated the importance of the American cotton for Europe which did not support the Confederacy as the so-called King Cotton diplomacy had foreseen. On the eve of the American Civil War, the North had a major advantage over South in population, material resources and logistic.
