CRAP !!
Actually, Mississippi was the first state after South Carolina to secede. It
did so January 9, 1861, months before North Carolina. It wasn't until after
Lincoln started calling for troops that North Carolina seceded. Although
Kentucky and Missouri both had governments that voted to secede, both states
remained as border states in the Union (though they did send troops to both
sides during the war). Thus North Carolina, which seceded May 20, 1861,
became the second to last state to do so. Tennessee, the last, seceded June
8, 1861.
