When Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 seven states existed: These states had been: South Carolina (December 20, 1860), Mississippi (January 9, 1861), Florida (January 10, 1861),
Alabama (January 11, 1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana (January 26, 1861), and Texas (February 1, 1861). Lincoln was not even on the ballot in nine states in the South. Several Leaders from South Carolina had long been waiting for an event that may unite the South against the anti-slavery forces. As quickly as the election returns have been particular, a specific South Carolina convention declared "that the Union now subsisting in between South Carolina and other states below the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved." By February 1, 1861, six much more Southern states had seceded. As a outcome on February 7, the seven states adopted a provisional constitution for the Confederate States of America and established their capital at Montgomery, Alabama. On March four, 1861, less than a month later, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President of the United States. He stated on this date that he had no intention to invade southern states, but would use force to preserve possession of federal house. The South, particularly South Carolina, ignored this plea by Lincoln, and as a outcome on April 12, the South fired upon the Federal troops there were stationed at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. The firing continued till the troops surrendered. This significant event is what a lot of feel was the start off of the American Civial War.
