Excerpt from The Confederate States Congress

The Presidential election of 1860 was fraught with the greatest excitement. The old Democratic party went down in defeat, for it had divided itself into two wings - the Northern and the Southern. The new and untried Republican party had succeeded in electing Lin coln President. N o sooner was the news of the Repub lican triumph made known than secession became a burn ing issue in some of the Southern States, for the new President had declared on the hustings that the country could not remain one part slave and the other free.
