What caused the final four confederate states to secede from the union in April of 1961?
(It was 1861, of course, not 1961.) After the Confederate firing on the US Army garrison at Fort Sumter, Lincoln was not able to declare war, because Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. But he did the next best thing, which was to appeal for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion in some of his own states. To the South, this was belligerent talk, and it swung four states of the Middle-South into joining the Confederacy.

How did Abraham Lincoln get 4 states to join the confederacy?
It was after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. The Confederates claimed that they were just defending their territory, and didn't want a war. Lincoln did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. That is why he couldn't declare war on them. Instead, he did the next best thing - appealing for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion of some of his own states. The slave-states of the middle-South (Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia) had not been enthusiastic about secession, and had not voted to secede. But after the first shots had been fired, it was easy for certain orators to swing the public behind them, and those states duly added their weight to the Confederacy, making eleven in all.
