After South Carolina seceded, (1/9/1861—2/1/1861) six other states seceded. Mississippi (1/9) on a vote of 85-15; Florida (1/10) 62-7; Alabama (1/11) on a vote of 61-39; Georgia (1/19) 208-89; Louisiana (1/26) 113-17; Texas (2/1) voting 166-8.

Only ONE HUNDRED people lived in Mississippi? Wow.

I've got to check Nevins, but you are going to be very embarrassed.

Only ONE HUNDRED people lived in Mississippi? Wow.

Uh, Walt. Those are legislature and convention votes.

The referendum totals I have records on are as follows:

TEXAS: 46,153 for, 14,747 against
VIRGINIA: 132,201 for, 37,451 against
TENNESSEE: 104,471 for, 47,183 against

All three carried in landslides, Walt.

Have you found yourself a new yankee historian in the wake of "Noam" McPherson having been discredited?

but you are going to be very embarrassed.

Surely he will not be as embarrassed as you should be after mistaking legislative votes for referendums.

So, who is embarrassed?
