The secession of 11 Southern US states was important because it produced, during the US Civil War, a divided nation that was weaker taken in totality then it was before the war. The secession caused terrible consequences for the Southern states because they cut themselves off from the manufacturing base of the North they enjoyed before the war. Now the South had depend upon Europe for supplies and products it needed to conduct a war and even if successful, the South would lose all the benefits of being part of the USA entailed. The secession also came to cause a civil war that killed over 600,000 Americans. This was a terrible cost. How the future of the US would have been if the South agreed to gradually end slavery and accept compensation from the US government, cannot be accurately known in detail. However, there is no doubt that the US would have been a major world power allot sooner if the Civil War, had never happened.
