The Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act also worked to obtain similar results. When the newly founded Republican Party (the first real anti-slavery party) won its first election in 1860 with Abraham Lincoln, the South feared that the government would infringe on its rights and interests, which led to secession, and then the Civil War.
