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.

Slavery was a states rights issue. The essential problem was if a state had the right to allow slavery when the federal government states it is illegal. We are still arguing the issue today.

Slavery wasn't so much the cause but a emotional and political response of where the power of the federal government stops and the state begins.

The subject has changed, but not the argument over federal/ state rights.

Slavery was the straw that broke the camel's back. It 'pushed the envelope' of the already heated issue of State's Rights- The South held State's Rights (such as choosing whether or not to allow slavery) above national unity, so they succeeded from the union.
