Lincoln was the first Presidential candidate from the Republican party, which was opposed to the extension of slavery.

As soon as he was elected, South Carolina seceded from the United States. After he was inaugurated, he was offered the Crittenden Compromise, but rejected it because it would have allowed some new slave-states.

By this time, six more states had joined the Confederacy.

A few weeks later, the first shots were fired (at Fort Sumter), Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteer troops, another four states joined the Confederates, and the two sides were lined-up and ready for war.

By skilfully keeping Britain and France from helping the Confederates.

Also by keeping his troublesome cabinet under control through sheer force of character.

And in the second half, by choosing and using the best Generals (which the opposing president, although a regular army man, never did.)

He was able to win re-election in November 1864. This was the signal that the North was voting to fight on, and it spelt the end of any hopes of Confederate victory and Southern independence.
