Why does the writer support secession?
“In January next we shall take leave of the
Union and shall construct with our Sister
Cotton States a government for ourselves.
Whether the other Slave States will join seems
very uncertain at least for the present. The
condition of affairs at the North since the
election of an Abolitionist for President makes
it necessary for us to get away as quickly as
possible.”
-E.B. Heyward, South Carolina, Nov. 20, 1860


Help yourself by eliminating as many pronouns as
possible from quotes you want to use

necessary – no super long quotes
