  If all the potential confederate states had voted at the same time, an unlikely prospect certainly, perhaps possible if secession hot heads were worried about disunity, and wanted everyone to vote simultaneously as an inherently unifying act, I believe most southern states would have voted no, based on the votes held in Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina which did reject secession in later months.
  I'm guessing that only South Carolina has a sure majority in favor, maybe also Mississippi and Alabama, but thats it.
