In at least 500 words, examine the secessionist debate in Georgia and explain how it divided the state. Begin by reviewing the arguments of each side and describing the people supporting that viewpoint.
Passage:South Carolina seceded on December 20, 1861 and other southern states soon repeated the process. Mississippi, Florida and Alabama joined the exodus. What was to be the direction for Georgia? Would the state secede or would the people remain loyal to the United States?
Since the Missouri Compromise, southern states had debated the idea of secession each time slavery was threatened. With new states and territory being added to the nation, the question arose on whether the new lands would be free or slave. The Compromise of 1850, the Kansas Nebraska Act and the Dred Scott case had all added a sense of fear concerning the continued practice of slavery. To further heat the debate, abolishing slavery was constantly being added to the discussion. The efforts of abolitionists and slave rebellions had struck fear in Georgia.
Arguments in Georgia ensued as to the constitutional right of secession for the individual state. Those supporting the Union were called the Cooperationists and those supporting secession were called Immediate Secessionists. Elections were held across Georgia's 132 counties for a special convention set for the middle of January with the sole purpose of discussing secession.
A series of angry debates was held in the state capital at Milledgeville. Prominent delegates were sharply divided as to the choice Georgia should make. In the local governments discussions emphasized the right to own slaves, protect their honor and make their own decisions separate from a federal government. White Georgians demanded that their liberty and freedom must be protected.
Georgia joined the secessionists on January 21, 1861. The final signing would have 286 signatures supporting the move and 6 signatures signing a protest. But at what cost and how did they arrive at such a decision?
