http://www.giltroy.com/Courseweb/pres1860.gif

Lincoln wins many votes in the North and since the North has a larger population he wins the election http://www.wildwestweb.net/cwleaders/Abraham%20Lincoln.jpg

The South is afraid that Lincoln will now try to abolish slavery in the United States

SECEDE – to withdraw from the Union, split with the country South Carolina becomes the first to secede on December 20, 1860

In the next six weeks more states secede: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas

These states form their own country – THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

JEFFERSON DAVIS is elected president of the Confederate States of America http://www.military.com/pics/davis1.jpg

Northerners felt that secession was unconstitutional and the South did NOT have the right to leave X

John Crittenden of Kentucky tries to get both sides to solve the problem with the CRITTENDEN PLAN but it fails

Lincoln becomes the 16th president in March of 1861

both sides cautiously wait to see what will happen next
