Eleven states seceded to form the confederacy (though some put the number at 13).

The first seven seceded during the winter of 1860-61 (after Lincoln's election):

South Carolina

Mississippi

Florida

Alabama

Georgia

Louisiana

Texas

Four additional states seceded and joined them after the fall of Fort Sumter, and Lincoln's call for troops to respond:

Virginia

Arkansas

Tennessee

North Carolina

(Several western counties of Virginia refused to go along with the rest of the state and formed their own loyal state government, which later in the war was recognized as the new state of West Virginia.)

In addition two others states were split, with factions forming pro-Confederate governments in addition to the (predominant) pro-Union governments:

Kentucky

Missouri

South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas seceded before the attack on Fort Sumter (4.12.1861). After which Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina seceded. Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland were slave states that did not secede. West Virginia split from Virginia and stayed in the union. These five states are known as "border states."
