Question

At the onset of the secessionist movement in the south which state defeated the cooperation it's argument that the south should act as a unit

Answer 1

i think South Carolina. The cooperationist believed that the south should respond as a unit, and South Carolina at the time was the only state that was separated from the union. They defeated the argument of the cooperationist by having a convention on January 1861 with the other Deep South states to join their secession, and that's where seven other states joined by removing themselves from the union.
