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.

The immediate trigger was the election of Lincoln as the first president from the newly-formed Republican party, which favoured tariffs on imported goods (which the South needed most), and did not want to allow any more slave-states.
Maryland was a slave state. It was blocked from seceding because it borders the District of Columbia on three sides.
the Confederacy
The slave-owning southern states.

The economy was based on the practice of slave-labour.
At the beginning of the US Civil War, the "southern" border States were Kentucky and Missouri. In this answer, Maryland is excluded in that although it was a pro=southern slave State, it cannot be considered a border State.

The Union in the American Civil War represented the free states (meaning slave-free states) plus five border slave states in the north of America. The Confederate States of America (the Confederacy) comprised the eleven southern slave states which had seceded from the United States of America.
It increased fears in the South of a slave uprising, and may have contributed to the Southern states' seceding from the Union. Second answer. The South did not fear a slave revolution. In fact during the US Civil War, there were no massive attempts to escape to the North and the possibility was there, without a doubt. Most Americans did not approve of violence on the slavery issue.
The immediate trigger was the election of Lincoln as the first president from the newly-formed Republican party, which favoured tariffs on imported goods (which the South needed most), and did not want to allow any more slave-states.
The war between the states was The American Civil War. It was fought from 1861 to 1865 because seven Southern slave states formed the Confederate States of America.
Prior to the US Civil War, Southern states were sometimes referred to as slave holding states. Technically and in reality, until the Civil War, all US states were called US states. This is not some way to marginalize the antebellum period of the US.
Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware. It was not just their status prior to the war that bothered Lincoln. They were in danger of seceding if they saw the South winning battles, and a Confederate government was actually installed in Kentucky by Braxton Bragg, though it collapsed when he took his army back to Tennessee.
