The order of secession for the initial staes was: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana (these first 6 states met to form the Confederate States of America in February of 1861 along with Texas which had, by then, voted to secede but had not been at the meeting). After the first 6 states the order was: Texas, Arkansas. North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee. Note that the legislatures in Virginia and Tennessee had voted to secede prior to the secession of Arkansas, but they each put it to a popular referendum which made the secession official only after the people of the states had voted on it, which didn't occur until after the secession of North Carolina.

Why do you still refer to the Articles of Confederation if they have been abolished?
The United States of America were not united immediately after the Revolutionary war. The truth is the country was governed for about 12 years after the end of the war under a document called the Articles of Confederation. Its main point was that there was a weak central government and the states were gathered together as a Confederation which gave each state a major role in their own governance than the central government had. Although it did not work, and eventually the states ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1789, which made the central government strong, and the powers of the states were those not claimed by the central government in the Constitution. Some 70 years later when the 11 southern states tried to secede from the Union, it caused the American Civil War. These southern states again joined together in a Confederation trying to war against the Union. They claimed states rights which was the reason for forming the Confederate States of America, but after the end of the war they were brought back into the Union and were forced to relinquish states rights.

As Lincon sided with the Union-later known to be federals- this separation is what formed the two sides of the American Civil War.
