The people filled out a ballot. They checked the box next to the name of the candidate they wished to vote for, and then they dropped it into a ballot box. The votes were counted, and the winner was announced.

Most of the North was generally happy about it. But most of the South was horrified by it. They feared Abraham Lincoln would end slavery. That is why the South formed the Confederate States of America.

Well, it effected all of America.

Slavery was abolished. This was a huge change for cotton plants which oprated using slaves, and gave them harsh treatement.

The economy had to change and owners of the plants, which were more predominiately Southern, would have to take on more costs to hire workers.

The South are the states who chose to rebel and formed the Confederates. The North and South were affected by the US Civil War. End result the South lost and had to give up slavery anyways.

Slavery was the major issue in the 1860 election. The Republican Party platform promised not to interfere with slavery in the states, but opposed the further extension of slavery into the territories. Republican Party candidate Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election defeating John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas. Abraham Lincoln received 180 electoral votes from 18 of the 33 states. Abraham Lincoln did not receive electoral votes from any southern state. Lincoln was not on the ballot in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas declared its secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency. The Civil War began with the Confederate attack upon Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, a Union fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. After the Civil War began in April, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina also declared their secession and joined the Confederacy.
