Civil war part 1

Southerners were upset when Lincoln was elected president because:

• they believed he might one day end slavery, which would threaten their way of life

• they wanted a president who would support the abolition of slavery

• he wanted northern states to secede from the Union

• he had a plan to raise taxes

One reason South Carolina chose to leave the Union was because:
