Secession+of+the+Southern+States

Civil War: Secession of the Southern States In late 1860 and early 1861, several Southern states seceded from the Union and created the Confederate States of America, precipitating the Civil War. Was the Southern secession: • A legal attempt to secede from a government that followed policies that went against Southern interests? • A rebellion, because when the states had entered the Union they signed a binding contract?
