Which states seceded after Lincoln asked them for troops?
States in the upper south
What did Lincoln's call for volunteers to defend Fort Sumter lead directly to?
A response to the Confederate attack on Ft. Sumter April 12, 1861. The troops were sought to suppress what the North regarded as a rebellion and to counter an earlier Confederate call for 100,000 volunteers to enforce secession. Seven states had already seceeded from the Union prior to Lincoln's inauguration. Four more left after the President asked for the volunteers on April 14, 1861, in part because they thought it probable that Federal troops would enter their states. The question as to who started the war hinges on whether states which had voluntarily joined (and formed) the Union had a right to seceed from it, or not. The South said, "yes," the North said "no." If "yes," holding and resupplying Ft. Sumter, in the territory of the Confederate state of South Carolina, was the cause. If "no" it was the Confederate attack. The War settled the issue.

These are all of the states that seceded during the presidency of James Buchanan, who did not order any response because he believed they had the right to secede if they wanted to.

What was Lincoln's reaction to the confederate victory at Sumter and why did that cause more problems for the union?
Because they lost the fight, Lincoln realized he needed a larger army. Thus, he called for 75,000 men to fight. This was problematic because it caused the move of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas to the Confederate States of America.US President Lincoln truly believed the Southern rebellion would be short lived and only asked for the number of troops he thought were needed. Their enlistment was for only three months.It must be noted that Lincoln expected to lose Fort Sumter. The fort was isolated from any close by support.
