The beginnings of the US Civil War began when the US Constitution did not abolish slavery. Thus slavery continued and expanded in numbers in the years building up to the assault on Fort Sumter in April of 1861. For many Southerners, the straw that broke the camel's back was the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. An avowed anti-slavery politician, he promised the South that he had no intension of abolishing slavery where it already existed.Southerners believed that their economy and way of life was threatened by Lincoln's election.
