description Attorney and newspaper publisher William Lowndes Yancey personified the movement for secession in the late antebellum period. He rose to national prominence in 1848 by advocating for the pro-southern "Alabama Platform" at the Democratic National Convention. In 1860, he led the walkout that divided the Democratic Party and heightened Abraham Lincoln's chances in the presidential election. When the Alabama Secession Convention met in Montgomery in January 1861, Yancey introduced the resolution for secession. This sash honoring Yancey was likely presented to him in 1860 or 1861.
