dec 20, 1860 - South Secedes
Description:
The South felt like they weren't being listened to so they decided to leave the Union. President Abraham Lincoln told them that they couldn't do that because the Constitution says they can't. Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." He knew that the U.S will fall apart without the South.Added to timeline:
