Secession and Resistance
 Seceding – Leaving the Union.
Economic, Social, and Political
Differences
South
• Agrarian (farming) economy.
• Plantation system relied on slaves.
• Manufactured little, imported much, so
opposed to high tariffs.

4. North
• Industrial economy based on
manufacturing.
• Did not use slave labor.
• Wanted high tariffs to protect own
products.

5. Countdown to Secession
Northern as well as Southern states were
concerned about territories in the West
either becoming slave states or free
states (Balance of power in Congress)
Missouri Compromise – Missouri admitted as slave
state, Maine admitted as free state to keep balance
in Congress equal. No slaves north of 36° 30 ° N
parallel line.
Compromise of 1850 – California and unorganized
western territory admitted as free. Utah and New
Mexico Territories would be open to slavery by
popular sovereignty ( people living in the area would
vote for slavery or not.) It had to do with the
slavery issue.

6. Fugitive Slave Law – part of
Compromise of 1850. Northern states
had to forcibly return escaped slaves
to their owners in the South.

7.  Kansas-Nebraska Act – Territories of Kansas and
Nebraska could decide on slavery through popular
sovereignty. Basically repealed the Missouri
Compromise. Conflicts erupted between pro-slavery
and abolitionists who had moved into Kansas to sway
the voting. Known as Bleeding Kansas.

slaves for a rebellion.

11. Efforts to restore the Union
Abraham Lincoln - wins the presidency

new territories. He also stated that no
state can lawfully get out of the Union. His
main goal of the upcoming war would be to
save the Union

12. December 20, 1860-
South Carolina secedes
from the Union.

States of America at a

established to protect state’s rights.

Winston County, Alabama – County in North
Alabama that stayed neutral (taking neither one
side nor the other) throughout the war.
Western Counties of Virginia – Counties in
Western Virginia felt more tied to the Union
than those counties in Eastern Virginia. When
Virginia seceded from the Union, the western
counties formed a separate government.
In 1863, this group of counties became
the state of West Virginia.
