Civil War Photographs from the Liljenquist Family Collection,” a exhibit opening at the Library of Congress on April 12, offers an haunting view of the Civil War generation through 400 period photographs.
More than 700 ambrotype and tintype photographs highlight both Union and Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

South Carolina Ordinance of Secession 20 December 1860 "An Ordinance to dissolve the Union between the State of South Carolina and other States,"
ON Dec. 20, 1860, 169 men — politicians and people of property — met in the ballroom of St. Andrew’s Hall in Charleston, S.C. After hours of debate, they issued the 158-word “Ordinance of Secession,” which repealed the consent of South Carolina to the Constitution and declared the state to be an independent country.
Four days later, the same group drafted a seven-page “Declaration of the Immediate Causes,” explaining why they had decided to split the Union.
The authors of these papers flattered themselves that they’d conjured up a second American Revolution. Instead, the Secession Convention was the beginning of the Civil War, which killed some 620,000 Americans; an equivalent war today [ 2010 ] would send home more than six million body bags. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/opinion/19Ball.html
Document Description: the South Carolina State Legislature called for elections to a state convention to be held on December 17th. On December 20th, all 169 delegates to the convention voted for secession against Republican Presidential leadership on matters of race, economics, and politics. This document states that South Carolina has repealed the Constitution and its amendments
and disassociated itself from the United States of America.
and “The Address to the People of South Carolina . . .” outlining the erosion of the Union and calling for a confederacy of southern states.
Citation: Constitutional and Organic Papers. S 131053. South Carolina Department of Archives and History, Columbia, South Carolina.
Transcription: At a Convention of the People of the State of South Carolina, begun and holden at Columbia on the Seventeenth day of December in the year or our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty and thence continued by adjournment to Charleston,
and there by divers adjournments to the Twentieth day of
December in the same year –
with her under the compact entitled “The Constitution of the
United States of America.” and it is herby declared and ordained, That the Ordinance adopted by us in Convention, on the twenty-third day of May in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven hundred and eight eight, whereby the Constitution of the United State of America was ratified, and also all Acts and parts of Acts of the General Assembly of this State, ratifying amendment of the said Constitution, are here by repealed; and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States,
under the name of “The United States of America,” is hereby
dissolved.
