What 5 southern states seceded from the union?
There were eleven. First was South Carolina. Then the six states of the Lower South followed, one after another.

And this sent four states of the Upper South into the Confederacy, while the other four narrowly voted to remain loyal.
When did the 4 states secede?
I'm guessing you're asking about the four states of the upper south, which seceded after Fort Sumter. These were Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. They seceded because the day after Fort Sumter, Lincoln called on all states, including these four, for men to serve in the army to fight the Rebels. That put these states to the choice - to make war on their neighbors, or to join with their neighbors in leaving the old Union and forming a new nation. Many people in these states had relatives living in states which had already seceded, so the government was asking them not only to fight their neighbors, but in many cases to fight their own family. This unhappy choice forced these states to join those which had already left the Union.
Who was Robert E. Lee's president?
He was not a president,but he was an army officer. When he captured John Brown, he was a Colonel in the US Army, under President Buchanan. After South Carolina seceded, he was in the service of the new President Lincoln, who offered him the job of General-in-Chief of all the Union armies. He said he would wait to see whether Virginia voted to join the Confederacy. When it did, he reluctantly turned down Lincoln's offer, resigned from the US Army, and went with his state - volunteering as an officer in the Confederate States Army. In that role, his President was Jefferson Davis.
