South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union on December 20, 1860, prior to the start of the Civil War. This decision was largely driven by fears over the election of Abraham Lincoln and the perceived threat to slavery. South Carolina's secession set off a chain reaction, leading to the eventual secession of several other Southern states.
