South Carolina seceded in December 1860.

Six more states did so in early 1861.

Why did the Union win the Battle of Atlanta?

Because Sherman had managed to keep Bedford Forrest occupied in Tennessee, and unable to cut his supply-lines, to try and pull him back from Atlanta. The newly-appointed Confederate commander in Atlanta, John Hood, failed in his attacks on the two widely-separated Union armies, and escaped into the mountains, leaving Sherman to occupy the city. This gave a major boost to Lincoln in his election campaign.
