The Northern reaction to secession was marked by shock and a sense of betrayal, as many Northerners believed the Union was indivisible. The secession of Southern states, starting with South Carolina in December 1860, prompted calls for military action to preserve the Union. Many in the North rallied around the notion of defending the nation, leading to increased enlistment in the military and a determination to confront the secessionist states. Overall, it solidified a sense of Northern identity and commitment to the Union cause.
