I'm guessing you're asking about the four states of the upper south, which seceded after Fort Sumter. These were Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. They seceded because the day after Fort Sumter, Lincoln called on all states, including these four, for men to serve in the army to fight the Rebels. That put these states to the choice - to make war on their neighbors, or to join with their neighbors in leaving the old Union and forming a new nation. Many people in these states had relatives living in states which had already seceded, so the government was asking them not only to fight their neighbors, but in many cases to fight their own family. This unhappy choice forced these states to join those which had already left the Union.
