The Ordinance of Secession was the document drafted and ratified in 1860 and 1861 by each of the states formally seceding from the United States of America. Each state ratified its own ordinance of secession, typically by means of a special convention delegation or by a general referendum. After Abraham Lincoln was elected President in early November 1860, the South Carolina State Legislature called for elections to a state convention in Charleston. All 169 delegates to the convention voted to secede, making South Carolina the first state to pass its own ordinance of secession on December 20th, 1860.
AN ORDINANCE to dissolve the union between the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact entitled "The Constitution of the United States of America."
