Mississippi defeated the cooperationist argument during the early secessionist movement by becoming the second state to secede from the Union on January 9, 1861. This action encouraged other Southern states to follow suit rapidly. Thus, Mississippi's decision played a crucial role in the trajectory of the secessionist movement.
