The seven states seceded in protest of the election of President Abraham Lincoln because he was an abolitionist and they feared he would abolish slavery in all states. The second reason was to retain their independence. The third reason was they knew the outcome would not be favorable if they remained a part of the Union.
The first one (South Carolina) seceded in 1860. The next six took their turn in the early part of 1861, before Lincoln's inauguration.
The reason was Lincoln's election win. He had campaigned on a ticket of no new slave-states. This meant that the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, which would keep passing laws favourable to the North.
Believing that a Republican president would destroy their culture, when Abraham Lincoln fairly won the presidency they seceded before he was inaugurated.
The states seceded because they knew that things wouldn't turn out good; so they left.
