Southern Secession Goal: Examine the reasoning behind the South’s secession from the United States.

Southern Secession Southern states believed they had the right to secede (states’ rights) Many Southerners supported secession (breaking away from the Union) and believed they were justified in doing so To them, the government broke the contract they had (Constitution) and therefore, the South was free to leave

Attempting to Prevent Crittenden Compromise: Senator John Crittenden’s last ditch effort to save the Union Included protection of slavery in the South Rejected by North and South

Secession First Wave: South Carolina begins secession, 6 other states follow (Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Louisiana) Second Wave: Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee join after the Siege of Fort Sumter. These states come together to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) (think Articles of Confederation type government) Border States: slave states that remained in the Union

Fort Sumter Fort Sumter: Union fort in Charleston, South Carolina Confederacy demanded the forts surrender The fort was low on supplies and needed help from Lincoln, which he sends Jefferson Davis (Confederate President) orders troops to attack and take the fort They succeed and force Lincoln to issue a call for troops from the Union to go to war
