Title
"The Secession Excitement; North Carolina Legislature," New York Times, December 20, 1860
Description
A newspaper article discussing the North Carolina state assembly's discussion on secession. The view for North Carolina in 1860 was Pro-Union.
This article shows the controversy over secession in the state of North Carolina. North Carolina was the last state to secede because many of the citizens were Pro-Union and did not wish to leave over the issue of slavery. The article shows that even as some of the other states were deciding to secede, the North Carolina Assembly still did not feel it was necessary to leave yet. It was a process that took a long time to make the right one, and as of 1860 North Carolina still saw no need to leave the Union.
