Louisiana Secedes on January 26th
"The State of Louisiana is now added to the list of seceding States. The ordinance of secession was passed in the State Convention yesterday by a vote of 113 to 17. A deathlike silence prevailed during the calling of the roll, and many members were in tears. When the vote was announced the President of the Convention declared Louisiana a free and sovereign republic.
The chronological order of the secession movement is as follows:
2. January 9: Mississippi
3. January 11: Florida
4. January 11: Alabama
5. January 19: Georgia
6. January 26: Louisiana
