e. THE ELECTION OF 1860 South has No Political Power

ELECTION VOTING

THE SOUTHERN STATES SECEDE – DEC. 20, 1860

Responses to Lincoln’s Inaugural Montgomery Advertiser: It means war. Nothing less would satisfy the abolition chief. Baltimore Exchange: The measures of Mr. Lincoln mean war. Richmond Enquirer: The cool, unimpassioned deliberate language of the fanatic. Sectional war awaits only the signal gun. Baltimore Sun: It assumes despotic authority, and intimates the design to exercise that authority to any extent of war and bloodshed. If it means what it says, it is the knell and requiem of the Union, and the death of hope. Charleston Mercury: It is our wisest policy to accept it as a declaration of war. Stephen Douglas: It is a peace offering rather than a war message. NY Tribune: To 20 millions of people it will carry tidings, good or not, as the case may be, that the federal government of the US is still in existence, with a Man at the head of it. NY Herald: It would have been almost as instructive if President Lincoln had contented himself with telling his audience yesterday a funny story and letting them go. It was not a crude performance, for it abounds with traits of craft and cunning.

BEFORE THE ATTACK South Carolina (SC) Secedes From the Union, December 20, GA, FL, AL, MS, TX, TN, AR, NC, VA, and LA also secede. (11 States) Confederate States of America created
