It started with South Carolina on December 20th 1860.

Six more states followed, one after the other, in early 1861.

After the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12th, and Lincoln's appeal for volunteer troops for the Union, four more states joined the Confederacy, making eleven in all.

From that point, the two sides were formally lined-up, and the war was officially on.
