The South could not secede again. There are too many laws and enforcements that would make it nearly impossible for the South to secede.
Following Lincoln's call for troops after the attack on Fort Sumter, four states initially seceded from the Union: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama. They were later joined by Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina, making a total of eleven states that seceded.
James Buchanan was president when seven Souther states seceded. Four more seceded after Abraham Lincoln took office.
The south was the back bone of the US so when they legally walked away Lincoln started the "civil war" aka USA vs CSA to take over the rightful land of the CSA
The Confederates, also known as the Rebels or the South, were states that seceded from the United States of America. The Union, also known as the Federals or the North, were the states that remained in the US and fought to retain the US as a single country.
who had been recently elected as president of the United States when the southern states seceded
South Carolina
Based on the election of Abraham Lincoln to the US presidency, South Carolina left the Union on December 20, 1860.
Abe Lincoln
The south seceded from the Union.
In 1860 South Carolina seceded from the union
It didn't. North and South Korea both declared independence in 1948. Neither country seceded from the other, but the country was divided into two distinct occupation zones by the US and Soviets in 1945.
The state of South Carolina seceded from the USA, followed by six others before Lincoln's inauguration.
The eleven states of the CSA, in order of secession, were: South Carolina (seceded December 20, 1860), Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee (seceded June 8, 1861).
Because Lincoln did not recognise the Confederacy, and declared that he would defend his small garrison at Fort Sumter.
When Southern states in the US seceded they formed the Confederate States of America. As provisional then elected, President Jefferson Davis headed the new government. Davis had good experience with being a former US Secretary of War, plus Davis was well educated. He graduated from the USMA and also a private college.
Because Lincoln had won the 1860 election, on a platform of not allowing any new slave-states. This meant that the South would always be outvoted in Congress, which would tend to pass laws favourable to the North at the expense of the South.
The advantages that the Confederacy would have gained if the Border states had seceded would have changed the US Civil War immensely. Excluding Delaware, the slave Border states of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland would have added 45% to the white population and military manpower the South. The South's industrial base would have increased by 80%. And, very importantly, Washington DC would have been surrounded by two Confederate states, forcing the abandonment of the Union capitol. Also the use of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers by the Union would have vanished.
