By definition secession has happened in many countries throughout the years, but the most relevant example of secession in the United States occurred in the 1860s with the secession of 11 states from the United States who formed their own government and declared themselves the "Confederate States of America". What resulted was the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 until 1865 when the Confederate States of America were defeated and forcibly re-entered into the United States.
