In order of secession from the Union, the states which became the Confederate States of America (aka CSA aka "the Confederacy") were:

1. South Carolina (December 20, 1860)

2. Mississippi (January 9, 1861)

3. Florida (January 10)

4. Alabama (January 11)

5. Georgia (January 19)

6. Louisiana (January 26)

7. Texas (February 1; referendum February 23)

8. Virginia (April 17; referendum May 23, 1861)

9. Arkansas (May 6)

10. Tennessee (May 7; referendum June 8)

11. North Carolina (May 20)

Note that the attack by South Carolina forces on Ft. Sumter started April 12 of 1861 and Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers to serve for 3 months to suppress the insurrection occurred 3 days later on April 15, 1861. It was only after that request for forces that Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina voted to secede from the Union
