  • Following the election of John C. Fremont, a renowned abolitionist, to the presidency, the state governments of seven states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas, announced that if any federal action was taken to violate their state sovereignty, they would seceede from the union. President Fremont sent a bitter reply two days later on January 4. He stated that if they secceded, the United States would take action against them and would accept nothing less than a complete apology for any southern actions. On January 8, 1861, the state governments of these seven states convened in Montgomery, Alabama. They voted in favour of secession, whatever the cost. They nominated Jefferson Davis of Mississippi to become the president of their Confederate States of America. When news reached Washington of this decision, president Fremont immediately issued mobilisation orders that stated that every state was responsible for raising an army to crush the rebels. North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia declared that they would not raise arms against fellow americans and that if action was taken by other states to pacify the south, that they would join the confederacy. The USS Baltimore, a Union frigate sailing off the coast of Charleston, opened fire on the confederate held Fort Sumter on January 16, the war had begun. The five other states seceeded the following day, making 12 rebel states.
