A total of 11 states seceded from the Union during the American Civil War. These states were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Their secession ultimately led to the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. After the war, all seceding states were eventually readmitted to the Union.
Most people today believe that Lincoln and his supporters were trying to abolish slavery by fighting a civil war. But if you go back to the real history, documents and letters, you will find out that they were keeping the southern states from seceding from the Union. This is a very debatable topic, seceding from the Union, Many say that is the southern states had left, England would have taken over North America. But if you review the US Constitution you will remember that it is the right of every state to seceding from the Union with out conflict. But because of Lincoln and his supporters, only Texas has that right today; well, as of right now. A great book to read is "A Century of war: Lincoln, Wilson & Roosevelt" by Denson
In 1865, there were 36 states in the United States. This number included the Southern states that had seceded during the Civil War, although they were not fully recognized as part of the Union at that time. The conflict officially ended in April 1865, leading to the eventual Reconstruction of the Southern states back into the Union.
Seceding states believed they had to leave the Union primarily to preserve their rights and way of life, particularly regarding the institution of slavery, which they viewed as essential to their economy and social order. They feared that the federal government, influenced by anti-slavery sentiments, would impose restrictions that threatened their autonomy. Additionally, many felt that their sovereignty was being undermined and that secession was their only means to protect their interests and maintain self-governance. The election of Abraham Lincoln, perceived as hostile to slavery, further fueled their desire to break away.
