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.

In 1850, the southern states refrained from seceding primarily due to the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to balance the interests of both slave and free states. This compromise included provisions such as the admission of California as a free state and the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act, which appeased southern concerns about slavery. Additionally, the fear of potential economic consequences and the lack of unified support for secession among southern leaders contributed to their decision to remain in the Union at that time. The desire to maintain political power and influence within the federal government also played a significant role in their restraint.
Abraham Lincoln did not win any slave states in the 1860 presidential election. He secured the presidency primarily through victories in free states, receiving no electoral votes from the Southern slave states. His election was a significant factor in the secession of several Southern states and the onset of the Civil War.
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 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 North and South split apart during the Civil War primarily due to deep-seated economic, social, and political differences, particularly regarding slavery. The Northern states favored industrialization and a free labor system, while the Southern states relied heavily on an agricultural economy supported by slave labor. Disputes over states' rights and the expansion of slavery into new territories further exacerbated tensions, ultimately leading to the Southern states seceding from the Union in 1861. These conflicts culminated in the outbreak of the Civil War.
