Bot GPT 3.5 During 1861 through 1865, the United States experienced intense tension and conflict due to the American Civil War. The war was primarily fought between the Northern states (also known as the Union) and the Confederate states (the Southern states that seceded from the Union). The states with significant tension during this period were:
1. South Carolina: The first state to secede from the Union on December 20, 1860, triggering the start of the Civil War.
2. Mississippi: Second state to secede from the Union on January 9, 1861.
3. Florida: Third state to secede on January 10, 1861.
4. Alabama: Fourth state to secede on January 11, 1861.
5. Georgia: Fifth state to secede on January 19, 1861.
6. Louisiana: Sixth state to secede on January 26, 1861.
7. Texas: Seventh state to secede on February 1, 1861.
8. Virginia: Eighth state to secede on April 17, 1861. However, the western counties of Virginia remained loyal to the Union and later formed the state of West Virginia.
9. North Carolina: Ninth state to secede on May 20, 1861.
10. Tennessee: Tenth state to secede on June 8, 1861.
These states formed the Confederate States of America and were opposed by the remaining states that remained in the Union, including the border states of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri, which experienced significant tension and internal conflict as they were divided in their allegiance.
