Book Overview

The Secession Movement in South Carolina, 1847-1852 is a historical book written by Philip May Hamer and published in 1918. The book describes the events leading up to the secession of South Carolina from the United States in 1860, which ultimately led to the Civil War.

The author examines the role of prominent figures in the secession movement, such as Governor William Aiken Jr. and Senator Robert Barnwell Rhett, and their efforts to rally support for secession.
