When the southern states ceded from the Union in 1861, they formed The Confederate States of America, or The Confederacy
South Carolina was the first state to secede in December 1860. They asked all slave states to join them in creating a new nation and by February 1861, six other states had joined: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
The Confederacy issued three reasons for leaving the Union.
First, the United State believed that the Confederate States had broken the Constitution, something the Confederate states refuted.
Second, the United States had failed to enforce the Fugitive Slave Laws.
Third, the government was not allowing slavery in new territories.

Why did some southern states withdraw form the US?
Some southern states withdrew from the United States primarily due to disputes over slavery and states' rights. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, who opposed the expansion of slavery, heightened fears among southern states that their way of life and economic interests were threatened. In response, these states sought to preserve their autonomy and protect the institution of slavery, leading them to secede and form the Confederate States of America. This ultimately sparked the Civil War.
