South’s secession was an event where one or more states in the southern United States decided to secede from the Union. For years before the secession, southern states had been talking about splitting away from the USA. The states that seceded formed a new nation called the “CSA” or Confederate States of America. The “CSA” included Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia. All states that joined were slave states. After the creation of the “CSA”, tension arose between the North and the South. The South started seizing forts, arsenals, and nation property.
