The people who opposed secession believed that a state could not leave the union without permission form the remaining states, which had neither been sought nor given. The people supporting secession believed that each state had the right to leave the Union without need of permission from other states.
there isn't really a name for them, they are like any state but they have slavery. you could call them southern slave states or slave states, or southern states...... there is no definition for slave states that didnt secede proir to the civil war

The slave states remaining in the Union were mainly border states. The "border states" economy wasn't as dependant on slavery as were their southern cousins. One Southern congressman even stayed in congress during the war. Vice President Andrew Johnson was also a strong supporter of the South and paid for it after he became president.

It depends on what you consider secession. North Carolina was the last state who's legislature approved an ordinance of secession (May 20, 1861). However, both Tennessee and Virginia submitted their articles of secession to the voters for approval, and these ratifications occurred later. Virginia voters approved secession on May 23, 1861, while Tennessee voters approved secession on June 8, 1861. So while Tennessee was the last state to "officially" secede, North Carolina was the last state to practically secede (as the voter ratifications were basically just a formality at that point).
The United States was afraid to start a war with the Soviet Union
The US officially split during the Civil War in 1861. The southern states did secede from the Union, being the United States. When a secession occurs there is a withdrawl from the original entity. Thus forming the Confederate States of America whose president was Jefferson Davis. The United States, of course, at the SAME time was run by President Abraham Lincoln.
