After Abraham Lincoln won the presidency in the election of 1860, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860. Lincoln took his oath of office on March 4, 1861. Prior to his inauguration, other Southern states also seceded. These were the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi. later after the Battle of Fort Sumter, four other Southern states seceded. These were Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
