It depends on what you consider secession. North Carolina was the last state who's legislature approved an ordinance of secession (May 20, 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).
