Widely reported in the press and reprinted throughout the North in pamphlet form, the speech galvanized support for Lincoln and contributed to his gaining the Party's nomination for the Presidency.
They thought that granting popular sovereignty would allow slavery
Southern states were worried about Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860 because they feared his anti-slavery stance would threaten the institution of slavery, which was integral to their economy and way of life. Lincoln's commitment to halting the expansion of slavery into new territories heightened concerns that the Southern way of life would be undermined. His victory, without any support from Southern states, signaled a shift in political power that many Southerners viewed as a direct threat to their interests and rights. This fear ultimately contributed to the secession of several Southern states from the Union.

Lincoln maintained the presidency in the election of 1864 largely due to the Union's military successes, particularly the capture of Atlanta, which boosted public morale and support for the war effort. Additionally, the formation of the National Union Party, which included former Democrats and Republicans, helped to unify support behind him. His commitment to the abolition of slavery, exemplified by the Emancipation Proclamation, also resonated with many voters. Ultimately, a combination of military victories, political strategy, and a clear vision for the nation's future contributed to his re-election.
