The Southern states seceded from the Union shortly after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. This is because they knew he would be in opposition to slavery and supported the idea that the nation's rights should outweigh state's rights. In order to protect their way of life and what (who) they considered their property, they seceded and formed the Confederate States of America (CSA).
