I. Resolved the Senate of the Confederate States of America, That the war which is now being waged by the United States, for the avowed purpose of subjugating the people of the several States of this Government to the dominion of the Government of the United States, is, in the opinion of the Senate, a war as well upon the people as upon the Government of the Confederate States of America; and that the principles upon which t, his Government and the governments of the several States which compose it, are founded, justify each citizen thereof, when the invading enemy enters upon the soil of his State, in taking up arms to defend his homestead and liberties, and in attacking the invader, either by individual action or in organized bands. II. Resolved, That when any of our citizens shall exercise this sacred right, and shall by the fortune of war fall into the hands of the enemy, they are entitled to be treated as prisoners of war; and if they shall be treated otherwise, it is the duty of this Government to extend to them all the protection which may be within its power, or to retaliate for injuries (lone to them.
