South Carolina was the first one that did.
That state had always been the one that asserted States' Rights most loudly, and it led the secession.
When Sherman had finished with Georgia, he punished South Carolina heavily for starting the war, burning down the capital Columbia.

∙ 13y agoSouth Carolina seceded because of the president election. South Carolina was a southern state, and when Abraham Lincoln became president the South thought that slavery (BLACK PEOPLE) would be abolished. Sense Slavery was the southerners way to get money, they left the Union. South Carolina was the first state to secede.
