Bitterness marks aftermath of 1860 election. Southern states fear that the election of Abraham Lincoln and Republican dominance of Congress means that their way of life based on slavery will be violated. The legislature of South Carolina quickly calls for a convention and on December 20, 1860 votes unanimously to leave union. Within a short period of time South Carolina convinces six other states to join the secession movement. Each holds a constitutional convention to elect a provisional government and write a constitution.
