Before March 1861, seven states seceded from the Union: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. South Carolina was the first to secede on December 20, 1860, followed by the others in early 1861, as tensions rose over issues such as states' rights and slavery. Their secession led to the formation of the Confederate States of America.
