The first state to secede was South Carolina on December 20, 1860. It was followed by six other southern slaves states including Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. After the capture of Fort Sumter, in the Charleston, South Carolina, US President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to join the army for three months in order to put down the Southern rebellion. Then, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina seceded.
This totaled eleven states in all. The new "Confederate States of America" was hoping to increase the chances of its war for independence if the Union border states of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland would join the South. They never did and this caused increase tensions in these states as the slavery issue was complicated.
