According to the declaration, what caused Georgia to secede from the United States? [The Republican Party] entered the presidential contest in 1860 . . . and succeeded. The prohibition of slavery in the territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races, disregard of all constitutional guarantees in its favor, were boldly proclaimed by its leaders and applauded by its followers. With these principles on their banners and these utterances on their lips the majority of the people of the North demand that we shall receive them as our rulers . . . We refuse to submit to that judgment . . . To avoid these evils we resume the powers which our fathers delegated to the Government of the United States, and henceforth will seek new safeguards for our liberty, equality, security, and tranquility. — Declaration of the Causes of Secession by the State of Georgia, 1861
