On this day the state of South Carolina voted 169-0 to secede from the United States, declaring itself an independent commonwealth. The other southern cotton states of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas were quick to follow suit. Fear was in the air in the South that the new President, Abraham Lincoln, would stop the expansion of slavery and put it on a course toward extinction. The secession of the southern states led to the American Civil War [1861-1865] which resulted in defeat for the South and, eventually, to the abolition of slavery in the United States.
