Be honest. The two hold-out States were, namely, Georgia and South Carolina.

I've heard that alleged, but I have no idea if it is true or not. Given that the vast majority of states were slave states at the time, it could be that these two were simply the first to object, and if they had not, others would have done.

I do not know what is true on this point because I have not bothered to research it. I don't see why it matters anyway, as the rest of them agreed to what we ended up with.
