Non-musical history for today: 1860 – South Carolina became the first state to attempt to secede from the United States with the South Carolina Declaration of Secession. Its original title was, Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. This ridiculous title alone should have hinted that the idea was absurd. Nah, we had to go through the Civil War anyway. But it wasn't about slavery, right? It is only mentioned several times in the document. Wait...
