Why this is better

The article body had already been corrected to December 20, 1860 and 'about three weeks,' but two secondary locations still carried the stale unverified date: the bibliography citation ('South Carolina Declaration of Secession (December 24, 1860)') and the FAQ schema (JSON-LD), which both still said December 24, 1860. Fixed both to match the corrected body date of December 20, 1860 (the actual date of South Carolina's Ordinance of Secession).
