What policies did the Provisional Confederate government pass in order to divide Northern opposition to its rebellion?
In February of 1861, the Confederate government sought to counter Northern opposition to its secessionist regime. It declared that the Mississippi River would be open to trade for both the Union and the Confederacy. They also hoped that such a policy might cause a split in the New England areas and the states that bordered the Mississippi River. The Confederates also courted Northern border slave states to join the Confederacy. Only a two thirds majority in the Confederate Congress would be necessary to join the Confederate States of America.
