The southern states seceded from the Union beginning in late 1860 and early 1861, primarily in response to concerns over states' rights and the election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery. Following South Carolina's secession in December 1860, six other states—Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas—quickly followed suit, forming the Confederate States of America in February 1861. This act of secession was rooted in deep-seated economic, social, and political differences between the North and South. Ultimately, these tensions led to the outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861.
