*States Rights: Is a belief that states should take

precedence over that of the National
Government/I am bigger than team.
Sectionalism: North felt like their beliefs on all
issues are best and likewise, the south felt their
issues are most important.
*Concept of Nullification : The north felt like all
states that joined the Union are obligated to a
lifetime contract/The south felt like if they
voluntarily signed the contract to come into the
Union, they can voluntarily leave the Union.
Tariff: A tax imported or exported goods
*The North favored high tariffs on imported goods
so that they could undercut imported goods to
sell their products cheaper/south favored low
tariffs because of trade abroad.

Tuesday 2/12> Slavery

Slaves: Not all African Americans living in the south were slaves
(Only about 11.5% of total slave **4 million**population lived in Ga.)
& out of the 500,000 African Americans in Georgia, 6% were not
slaves.
*Slave Social Class: At the top was house staff, coach drivers,
doormen.

Exports on cotton

The Antebellum Period:

*Alexander Stephens: 1) Congressman from Ga. 2) Led

Whigs which favored moderated protected tariffs and
Federal help for the south. 3) Spoke against secession 4)
Vice President of The C.S.A
*The Election of 1860: The Election ( Lincoln ) amounted
to a revolution in politics. For the 1 st time, a party getting
votes from only one section (N) of the Nation won the
election( Lincoln ). He won without receiving a single
electoral vote from the south.
*The debate (Georgia) over Secession: Many Georgians
were split over whether or not to leave the Union. Soon
after Lincolns election, Georgia followed other southern
states for fear slavery may be abolished.
