What did southern states do when President Lincoln was elected in 1860?
South Carolina seceded from the USA, followed by six others in the following weeks.
What issues were still unsettled at the end of the end of the civil war?
Slavery was still an issue, despite the Emancipation Proclamation. Slavery still existed in some form or another, mainly in the states that did not secede or weren't directly involved with the war.
In 1861 delegates from the seceding states met to form a new nation called?
In 1860 and 1861, eleven states formed a separate nation called the Confederate States of America. This is a forerunner to the Civil War in which the Confederate States of America fought against the Union of States.
When did Florida secede from the US?
On January 10, 1861, Florida delegates, who were meeting in Tallahassee, the state capital, voted to secede from the U.S. With that action, Florida became one of the original 6 states to secede from the U.S. and form the Confederacy. (A factoid from America's Library.)
Which was the last state to leave the union?
It depends on what you consider secession. North Carolina was the last state who's legislature approved an ordinance of secession (May 20, 1861). However, both Tennessee and Virginia submitted their articles of secession to the voters for approval, and these ratifications occurred later. Virginia voters approved secession on May 23, 1861, while Tennessee voters approved secession on June 8, 1861. So while Tennessee was the last state to "officially" secede, North Carolina was the last state to practically secede (as the voter ratifications were basically just a formality at that point).
