When South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860, it became the first state to do so, escalating tensions between the North and South. This act was a response to the election of Abraham Lincoln, whom many Southern states viewed as a threat to slavery and their way of life. Following South Carolina's lead, several other Southern states soon followed suit, leading to the formation of the Confederate States of America and ultimately triggering the Civil War in 1861. The secession marked a pivotal moment in American history, highlighting deep divisions over issues of slavery and states' rights.
