When did South Carolina part away from the United States of America creating the Confederate States of America?

South Carolina seceded from the Union on 20 December 1860 and later joined with six other states to form the CSA in February 1861.


How does the union respond to the secession of the southern states?

Firstly with the proposed Crittenden Compromise of 1860, an unsuccessful attempt to stop Southern states from seceding by permitting slavery below the Mason-Dixon line across America. However, this move was blocked in the House by anti-slavery Republicans. When the seceded state of South Carolina fired on the federal reserve of Fort Sumter in April 1861, Lincoln called for 75000 troops to help stop the rebellion. With this action eight more slave states would secede, creating the Confederacy and starting the Civil War. It must be remembered that the Union did not immediately respond with actions such as the Emancipation Proclamation, as this would not occur until the descent into 'total war' in 1862.
