Secession in GA and Alexander Stephens's Role

The convention for secession in Georgia was held at Milledgeville. Milledgeville was the capitol of Georgia in 1861. There were nicknames for the people who were for secession, and the people who were against. Secessionists wanted to leave the Union asap, while cooperationists were wary of the idea. In the end, the secessionists got what they wanted and Georgia seceded from the Union. Alexander Stephens was a cooperationist. He didn't know what would happen if Georgia seceded, but he knew it would happen eventually. When Georgia seceded, Stephens became Vice President of the Confederacy. Alexander and the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, were very close. But after a while, they became more concerned about military tactics than being best friends who make friendship bracelets and have pillow fights.
