By February 1861, seven Southern states had seceded from the Union: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. These states formed the Confederate States of America, establishing a new government in opposition to the U.S. federal government. Their secession was driven by issues including states' rights and slavery, leading to increasing tensions that would culminate in the Civil War.
