The secession of Georgia from the United States during the American Civil War took place in all regions of the state. However, it is important to note that there were also opposing factions within the state, with some areas remaining loyal to the Union. The secessionist sentiment was most prevalent in the agricultural regions of middle and south Georgia, where plantation owners relied heavily on slave labor. These areas were more supportive of the Confederacy and played a significant role in the secession movement. However, there were pockets of Unionist sentiment in north Georgia, particularly in the mountainous regions, where subsistence farming was more common, and residents had fewer ties to slavery. Ultimately, the majority of Georgia voted in favor of secession from the Union in January 1861.
