The first shots of the Civil War (Confederate capture of Fort Sumter).
(It was 1861, of course, not 1961.) After the Confederate firing on the US Army garrison at Fort Sumter, Lincoln was not able to declare war, because Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. But he did the next best thing, which was to appeal for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion in some of his own states. To the South, this was belligerent talk, and it swung four states of the Middle-South into joining the Confederacy.
The Confederacy was officially wound-up about a month after Lincoln's death. There were certainly no new states wanting to join the Confederacy by then. The last four states to join were Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, after the firing on Fort Sumter in April 1861. The other four slave-states of the Upper South were partly in sympathy with the South, but still remained loyal.
The confederacy army surrendered on April 18, 1865, thereby ending the civil war. Slavery was abolished in Southern states, and the confederacy accepted to be part of the Union. The confederacy would not pursue secession from the Union.
The Confederacy is the south which contained 13 states. The Civil War lasted from April 1861-April 1865 when Conferate general Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse to Union general Ulysess S. Grant,

April 12, 1861
When Fort Sumter surrendered on April 13, 1861, the Confederacy had already been formed. Since at the time only seven states had joined the Confederacy, their flag was quite different from the battle flag later called the Stars and Bars. On April 13, 1861, the Confederate flag was colored red, white and blue. It had three large stripes, red on top, white in the middle and blue at the bottom of the flag. In the upper left hand side was a blue square that had seven white stars ion a circle, representing the seven states of the Confederacy at that time.
