The War Between the States, better known as the US Civil War began in 1861. The last state to secede before the surrender of Fort Sumter was Texas in February of 1861. After Fort Sumter, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina seceded. To many people the attack on Fort Sumter was an act of rebellion. There was no way for anyone to predict it would be called a war at that time.

Sectionalism in the United States began to emerge in the early 19th century, particularly during the 1820s and 1830s. It was driven by growing economic, social, and political differences between the North and South, particularly regarding issues like slavery and states' rights. The tension between these regions intensified over the following decades, contributing to the eventual outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.
