C. several border states that allowed slavery seceded from the united states.

Explanation:

Before Abraham Lincoln was elected president, in November 1860, seven states seceded from the South and which formed the Confederate States of America.

It wasn't too long, the Civil war began and four more Southern states joined the Confederacy while four border slave states remained in the Union.

Union lost eleven Southern states.
