Which state seceded from the union before the civil war?

Despite the controversy this answer will cause, a declaration of war was quite a formal act in the 19th Century. With that said, the States forming the Confederacy did not declare that a state of war existed with the US until May 6, 1861. To satisfy the preponderate view that the war began in Charleston Bay on April 12, 1861, here are the order in which the "Southern States" seceded from the United States: 1. South Carolina 12/20/1860; 2. Mississippi 1/9/ 1861 3. Florida 1/10/1861 4.Alabama 1/11/1861 5. Georgia 1/19/1861 6.Louisiana 1/26/1861 7. Texas 2/1/1861 8. Virginia 4/17/1861 9. Arkansas 5/6/1861 10. North Carolina 5/20/1861 11. Tennessee 6/8/1861
