SecessionSecession is the act of withdrawing from an organization or union, used particularly in the case of the Southern states of the United States seceding prior to the American Civil War. A "reverse" secession of sorts happened at this time when the northwestern counties of Virginia seceded to form the state of Kanawha (now West Virginia), in order to remain in the Union.
