You mean, 'secede'.

The first was South Carolina in December 1860.

Six more had seceded by the time Lincoln was inaugurated in March 1861.

And four more seceded after the firing on Fort Sumter and Lincoln's appeal for volunteer troops - effectively his declaration of war, although he could not formally declare war without recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.
