i dont know joking NEW RESPONDENT South Carolina on Dec. 20, 1860
South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860. It was the first state to do so, setting a precedent for other Southern states to follow in the lead-up to the Civil War.
The first southern state to secede from the Union was South Carolina, which did so on December 20, 1860.
South Carolina voted to secede from the USA in December 1860, because the election had been won by Lincoln on a ticket of no new slave-states, so the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress. By the time Lincoln was inaugurated in March, six more states had joined South Carolina in the Confederate States of America.
