The ordinance of secession in South Carolina, passed on December 20, 1860, primarily affected the residents of South Carolina, particularly those who supported or opposed secession. It also had broader implications for enslaved individuals, white abolitionists, and those in neighboring states, as it set off a chain reaction leading to the Civil War. Additionally, the ordinance impacted the federal government, as it challenged the authority of the Union and sparked national debates over states' rights and slavery.

The ordinance of nullification
In 1861, South Carolina dissolved its ties with the United States by adopting an ordinance of secession, becoming the first state to do so. This decision was driven by disputes over states' rights and the issue of slavery. The secession led to the formation of the Confederate States of America, marking the beginning of the Civil War. South Carolina's action prompted other Southern states to follow suit in the subsequent months.
