Secession in Georgia
Georgia held a state-wide convention to decide if they should stay with the Union, or secede to the Confederates. Many wanted to stay , but majority decided they should stay. They eventually voted to secede, but the vote was not as unanimous as in other states.
Alexander Stephens
Alex was, at first, not sure if he agreed to secede the United States or not. Although, he supported the compromise of 1850 as long as the Fugitive Slave Law was accepted. He ended up being chosen as the vice president of the Confederacy.
