After Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, several Southern states refused to accept his presidency, viewing him as a threat to slavery and their way of life. South Carolina was the first to secede from the Union in December 1860, followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas, ultimately forming the Confederacy. These states rejected Lincoln's leadership and sought to establish their own government, leading to the Civil War.
