Which is a reason many Georgia plantation owners favored secession?

One of the reasons many plantation owners in Georgia favored secession because they considered that abolition risked the way they were living.

People living in southern states were in favor of secession because they supported Dred Scott decision by the Supreme Court in 1857 that declared that slaves were not citizens but property, meaning they didn't have constitutional rights.

Although Georgia was a very active state against the Union, it was South Carolina who resisted the most to Lincoln's ideas.
