In the presidential election of 1860 eleven of Southern States supported John Cabell Breckenridge, the former Vice President during Buchanan Administration.
The eleven "Southern" states that seceded from the Union were all "slave" states. The slave holding states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were termed to be "border" states and geographically, none of them can be describes as "Southern" states, especially Delaware.
It started with South Carolina on December 20th 1860. Six more states followed, one after the other, in early 1861. After the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12th, and Lincoln's appeal for volunteer troops for the Union, four more states joined the Confederacy, making eleven in all. From that point, the two sides were formally lined-up, and the war was officially on.

The Confederate States of America.
Eleven southern states declared their secession and formed the Confederacy.
Secession.
Yes. In all 11 Southern states officially seceded. Two others Kentucky and Missouri, were sypathetic toward the southern cause but did not ultimately secede from the Union. Even though these two states did not secede, they are both recognized on the Confederate battle flag.
The secession was sparked by the election of Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 elections and the victory of the Republican Party.
In 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. This action was primarily driven by disputes over states' rights and the institution of slavery. The Confederate States aimed to establish an independent nation separate from the United States, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.
John Brown tried. Eleven southern states did form a separate country.
