=Civil War.=

Abraham Lincoln was voted as President by the Republican party because he thought slavery was wrong and didn't want it spreading to the Westward territory. Even though Licoln did not take slavery away from the Southern states, they felt that he was a threat to their society and culture. They were so afraid of their way of life ending, southern states soon begain to leave the Union. In December 1860, South Carolina was the first to secede. In February 1861, Mississippi, Florida, Alambama. Georgia, Louisiana and Texas soon followed. The Southern states then called themselves, the Confederacy.
