In early 1861, the full government of the United States endorsed the legitimacy of slave ownership. In January of 1861, the Mayor of New York suggested secession from the Federal government. In April of 1861, the Federal government sent secret naval squadrons to Charleston and Florida to fight their way into the ports.
