Secession Dates of the Southern Southern States:

  • South Carolina - December 20, 1860
  • Mississippi - January 9, 1861
  • Florida - January 10, 1861
  • Alabama - January 11, 1861
  • Georgia - January 19, 1861
  • Louisiana - January 26, 1861
  • Texas - February 1, 1861
On February 8, 1861, the first six states to secede formed the Confederate States of America, with Texas being admitted to the Confederacy about three weeks later, two days before Abraham Lincoln took office.

These are all of the states that seceded during the presidency of James Buchanan, who did not order any response because he believed they had the right to secede if they wanted to.
