It started with South Carolina on December 20th 1860.
Six more states followed, one after the other, in early 1861.
After the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12th, and Lincoln's appeal for volunteer troops for the Union, four more states joined the Confederacy, making eleven in all.
From that point, the two sides were formally lined-up, and the war was officially on.

How would you use Confederate States in a sentence?
Use Confederate States when referring to the Confederate States of America from the US Civil War. It is a noun and a proper name so it should be capitalized as United States is capitalized. In the example: Three Confederate states did not secede from the Union until May of 1861, Confederate again would be capitalized but states would not be. This is because states in this case does not refer to the whole Confederacy. It is like: There are 50 states in the United States.
