Lincoln did not believe in slavery, and when he was elected president in 1860, 7 states had left the Union. This was the beginning of the division of the United States. So one event was his election. The start of the Civil War in 1861 is another. This almost officially divided the USA into two teams or sides.

Where is the idea that Americans have the right to abolish an abusive government stated?

It's not a law. The idea is in the Declaration of Independance, that people may change their government if there have been "a long train of abuses". Also, Abraham Lincoln speaking of people and their government, spoke of their, "revolutionary right to overthrow it", though it was rather odd for him to say that in his first inaugeration speech, as future events would show.
