Simply to win the south back after they seceded from the union
At the start of the U.S. Civil War, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860.
When President Lincoln was elected president in 1860, much of the south reacted. Even before Lincoln took office, South Carolina called a convention in the south and delegates voted to secede, thus spurring the Civil War that would follow.
Seven states seceded from the Union prior to the outbreak of the Civil War: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. After the Civil War started, four more states seceded: Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
Eleven other states joined them and the civil war began.
South Carolina seceded prior to the start of the American Civil War, but it was the first state to do so.
