    Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election of 1860 amidst opposition by Southerners.

    Before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated into office, Southern states seceded. This is because they fear that with Lincoln as president, he would abolish slavery. They formed the Confederate States of America with Jefferson Davis as president.

    Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He preserved the Union during their Civil War and he brought about the emancipation of slaves.

    He was assassinated on 14th April 1865 by John Wilkes Booth, a known well-known actor and Confederate sympathizer.
