This looks like a work in progress at George Mason U.  Editorials, which I love.  They give a good snapshot into what people were thinking.

The Editorials on Secession Project

I hope they get if funded and finished in the next few years.

And one from Furman U.

Secession Era Editorials Project

I had never heard of Furman before, so:

Furman University is a private, coeducational, non-sectarian university in Greenville, South Carolina, United States. Furman is the oldest, largest and most selective private institution in South Carolina and is one of the top liberal arts colleges in the United States.[1] Founded in 1826, Furman enrolls approximately 2,550 undergraduate and 525 graduate students on its 750-acre (3 kmē) campus.
