Civil War was a real possibility, however, and could have erupted as it did under James' father Charles 1st. Louis the 14th in fact, counted on William getting bogged down in an English war. However, due in part to favorable winds that carried William to England while simultaneously keeping James' fleet stuck in port and also the unexpected flight of the typically strong-willed James, William's forces met no resistance when they landed in 1688 and marched into London.

Why did conflict erupt shortly after President Lincoln's assassination?

Why did the southern states decide to secede?
The North was becoming increasingly abolitionist, which would have eliminated the one area (agricultural production) in which the South had an economic advantage. When the Republicans, and Lincoln, came to power in the 1860 elections, the South knew that they faced both increased taxation and the end of slavery, and decided to form their own country. This, obviously, was unacceptable to the federal government and war would soon erupt.
