December 18,1860 -- The

When Abraham Lincoln, a
known opponent of slavery, was elected president, the
South Carolina
legislature perceived a threat. Calling a state convention, the
delegates voted to remove the state of South
Carolina from the union known as the
United States of America
. The Secession of South Carolina was followed by the secession of
six more states --
Mississippi
,
Florida
,
Alabama
,
Georgia
,
Louisiana
, and
Texas
-- and the threat of Secession by four more --
Virginia
,
Arkansas
,
Tennessee
, and
North Carolina
. These eleven states eventually formed the Confederate States of
America

greater stress on the autonomy of each state. Jefferson
Davis was named provisional president of the Confederacy
until elections could be held.
February 1861--
The South Seizes Federal Forts.
When President Buchanan --
Lincoln
's predecessor -- refused to surrender southern federal forts to the

troops repulsed a supply ship trying to reach federal forces based
in the fort. The ship was forced to return to
New York
, its supplies undelivered.
March 4 1861--
Lincoln's
Inauguration.
At
Lincoln
's inauguration the new president said he had no plans to end
slavery in those states where it already existed, but he also said
he would not accept secession. He hoped to resolve the national
crisis without warfare.
