What was Abraham Lincoln's favorite holiday?
Not as a federal holiday. Many states observe(d) Lincoln's birthday as a state holiday. Many people remember having both Lincoln's birthday and Washington's birthday off from school as kids, but one was a state holiday and the latter a federal holiday. After the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was passed in 1968 (took effect in 1971), many people became confused and thought that the federal law had been changed to merge the two as "Presidents Day". The following article about Washington's birthday discusses Lincoln's birthday and the confusion.

How might Abraham Lincolns victory in the election of 1860 lead to future problems?
Many people in the north wanted no part of slavery anywhere in the country. Southerners wanted slavery because they thought it helped production of crops etc. There are contrasting beliefs. Abraham Lincoln was from the North and a proponent of Federal rights and powers to limit slavery. The southern states wanted strong state powers and rights and weaker federal powers and rights. Slavery was a States Right issue and the federal government should not interfere. The northern states wanted the exact opposite, strong federal powers and rights and weaker state powers and rights. The right of the Federal government to abolish Slavery should trump any so-called States Rights. So the southern states voted to secede from or leave the United States also know as the Union. The US Civil War was thus started.
