They formed a group of politicians from the South that were extremely pro-slavery. The "fire-eaters", as they were known, urged the creation of the Confederate States of America.]]> 2016-10-02 14:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127726075 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127726167 2016-10-02 14:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127726167 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127726256 https://www.geni.com/projects/Southern-Fire-Eaters/4715]]> 2016-10-02 14:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127726256 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727669 2016-10-02 14:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727669 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727791 Fire- Eaters all had concerns with the federal government’s growing power and the minimized states’ rights. They believed slavery was necessary to a republican society. Throughout the years as southerners became irritated, the fire-eaters encouraged resistance and offered a solution.  Each fire eater emphasized different issues, ideas, and goals, but all together their concerns convinced other southerners that secession was the only solution.  ]]> 2016-10-02 14:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727791 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727836 2016-10-02 14:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727836 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727851 http://personal.tcu.edu/swoodworth/Walther.html]]> 2016-10-02 14:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727851 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727990 2016-10-02 15:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127727990 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127729606 2016-10-02 15:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127729606 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127729647 The Election of 1860 showed a clear divide between North and South. The result of the election resulted in Lincoln defeating the Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge. The Election of Abraham Lincoln angered the south because Lincoln did not carry any of the Southern states. Yet, he won the presidency. Southerners thought this signaled that the South was losing its national political power.]]> 2016-10-02 15:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127729647 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730087 2016-10-02 15:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730087 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730280 2016-10-02 15:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730280 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730546 2016-10-02 15:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127730546 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127731962 2016-10-02 16:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127731962 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127854012 2016-10-03 12:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127854012 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127854694 2016-10-03 12:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127854694 student1211249a https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127855260 2016-10-03 12:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/student1211249a/jt5dy5nabxpp/wish/127855260
