the southern states strongly opposed Lincoln as president. only 40% of the public voted for Lincoln. he became president through the electorial college, when all northern representatives chose to vote for Lincoln to get back at the south - there were more nothern reps then southern so the north had the advantage. 7 southern states chose to move towards secession after president Lincoln became president.and he was our 16 president
just like everyone else, he got voted in to be president.
