The slave state of South Carolina had placed themselves in an unusual situation with regards to the number of slaves there in 1860. More than half of South Carolina's population were slaves. If slavery, in the eyes of the white population, was abolished all at once, the white population would be outnumbered. As an aside, when Senator Calhoun from South Carolina saw the "slave problem" he pushed for the annexation of Texas in order to spread the slave population more evenly in the South. This was made easier when he was appointed to be the US Secretary of State.
