Answer:

South Carolina would be the first state to secede from the Union, on December 20, 1860, and would join the newly formed Confederate States

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ordinance was adopted on December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first slave state in the south to declare that it had seceded from the United States. The declaration also claims that secession was declared as a result of the refusal of free states to enforce the Fugitive Slave Acts.
