jackson left dc to go to SC to negotiate

it was only a few months before another tariff plan came through

and they had the threaten to leave again

this was constant

almost an entire century of it

threatening to leave every two years for a century

eventually they said fuck it

lincoln straight up threatened to invade the south if they made one more objection to the tariffs

But every other president before lincoln got at least some southern states, so presidents still had to appeal to the south. Lincolns election showed that this was over.

that might have mattered

I don't think anything mattered more than him openly threatening invasion in his innaugural address

He could only invade the south, because neither him nor his party would ever need votes from there again.

him threatening to invade got some southern states to seceed

They secceded begore the inanaugural no?

when he ordered the other southern states to raise armies to invade the other southern states, they joined

no

it wasn't all at once

most waited to see

I mean South Carolina

he made a veiled threat

many said wait and see

others said fuck that

He was in office since March 4, 1861

On November 9, 1860 the South Carolina General Assembly passed a "Resolution to Call the Election of Abraham Lincoln as U.S. President a Hostile Act" and stated its intention to declare secession from the United States

he said before he was in office that he would force them to pay the imposts northerners had been trying to impose for decades

south carolina was the first

they didn't wait

in his innaugural, he threatend them all

more joined

then he ordered the rest to raise armies to invade the others

they all left then

remember

he called general lee to lead his army

virginia had not left yet

he had ordered virginia to invade carolina

virginia refrused to invade carolina

virginia then left the union

lee then refused to turn on virginia

I just think SC knew what was going to happen now that he didnt need southern votes, before he said he would use force in the innaugural

nah

His speech and the raising of an army convinced the other states
