In the over-heated political atmosphere, dominated by extremists, only the compromise candidate Lincoln was electable.
But even he couldn't keep the country out of war. South Carolina immediately seceded.
A final compromise was offered to Lincoln, but he rejected it because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
