In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 5 Topic 7 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 5 (1844-1877).

In the election of 1860 Abraham Lincoln won the presidency without a single electoral vote from the South. Because of this, the South could see that they no longer had a voice in national politics in the United States. Therefore, as a result of this election, South Carolina seceded from the Union, followed by 10 other states which would together form the Confederate States of America.

Additionally, Heimler answers the oft asked question: did the Southern states secede because of slavery or because of a violation of states' rights. When you look at the reasons the states themselves gave, the answer is clear.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.

This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 5 Topic 7, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.
