The fifteen year old Sarah Bernhardt enters the Paris Conservatory

Parisian Henriette Rosine Bernard, soon to be known as the world-famous actress Sarah Bernhardt,  entered the Conservatoire de Musique et Déclamation in Paris, soon after her fifteenth birthday.  She began on the stage in 1862, was known world-wide by the the 1870s, and was a pioneer silent movie star after the turn of the new century.  She died in 1923 and was buried in Paris.  (By John Osborne)

Secession (Nash, 1998)

Textbook
Gary B. Nash et al., eds., The American People: Creating a Nation and a Society, 4th ed. (New York: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc., 1998), 499.
On December 20, 1860, South Carolina seceded from the Union, declaring the "experiment" of putting people with "different pursuits and institutions" under one government a failure. By February 1, the other six Deep South states (Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas) had seceded. A week later, delegates met in Montgomery, Alabama, created the Confederate States of America, adopted a constitution, and elected Jefferson Davis, a Mississippi senator and cotton planter, its provisional president. The divided house had fallen, as Lincoln had predicted it would.
