Why were some Georgians against the Georgia Platform?

Secession began after President Lincoln's election in the belief that his Republican Party was aggressively anti-slavery. ... Heated debate led to an overwhelming pro-secession vote. Georgia's declaration of causes made it clear: the defense of slavery was the primary cause for dissolving the Union.

julius caesar turned the roman republic into the roman empire by coming in and taking the "dictator" role during the time of a civil war (elites vs lower classes) winning battles and reputation, then declaring him dictator for life

hope this : )
