Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860 on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery into new territories. While Lincoln consistently stated that he did not intend to end slavery in the South, many Southern political leaders rejected this position and feared the long-term survival of slavery under his presidency. Eleven Southern states seceded from the United States because they believed leaving was necessary to protect slavery.
Objectives:
