South Carolina seceded in December 1860, in response to Lincoln's election win.

Six more states had followed suit by the time Lincoln rejected the last Compromise (which would have allowed some new slave-states), and after the Confederates fired on Forth Sumter in April 1861, another four states joined them, making eleven in all.
