Tennessee was the last state to secede from the Union primarily due to its strong economic ties to the North and a significant population that opposed secession. Initially, many Tennesseans were reluctant to leave the Union, valuing their connections to both Northern and Southern states. However, after the attack on Fort Sumter and President Lincoln's call for troops, public sentiment shifted, and the state ultimately voted to secede on June 8, 1861, becoming the last state to do so.

Which was the last state to leave the union?

It depends on what you consider secession. North Carolina was the last state who's legislature approved an ordinance of secession (May 20, 1861). However, both Tennessee and Virginia submitted their articles of secession to the voters for approval, and these ratifications occurred later. Virginia voters approved secession on May 23, 1861, while Tennessee voters approved secession on June 8, 1861. So while Tennessee was the last state to "officially" secede, North Carolina was the last state to practically secede (as the voter ratifications were basically just a formality at that point).
