Georgia seceded from the Union on January 19, 1861, primarily due to its desire to protect the institution of slavery and assert states' rights. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who was perceived as opposed to the expansion of slavery, heightened fears among Southern states. Georgia's secession was part of a broader movement by Southern states to form the Confederacy, seeking to maintain their social and economic systems based on slavery. The state's leaders believed that secession was the only way to preserve their way of life.
