Answer 2

Hi there!

Seven southern states seceded from the Union immediately after the election of Abraham Lincoln. The South thought that President Lincoln was going to end slavery. Although, President Lincoln was against slavery and thought it was saintly wrong, but he never said he'd end slavery.

Hoped this helps!
