South Carolina was separated from the United States
Time: Thursday Dec 20, 1860
Place: South Carolina, United States
Details: The election of Lincoln provoked the legislature of South Carolina to call a state convention to consider secession. Before the war, South Carolina did more than any other Southern state to advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws, and even to secede from the United States. The convention unanimously voted to secede on December 20, 1860, and adopted a secession declaration.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
