Why did the confederacy hate Lincoln?

Answer 1

The South didn't hate Lincoln himself, but his ideas. The South simply began a new nation(although recognized by no one) when Lincoln became president. Additionally, Abraham Lincoln was elected president while the puta southern states seceded. At the time of the war of Southern aggression by Fort Sumter, it was the South's constitutional right to secede or so was thought. After the fact, the US government tried to sustain the union by fighting the South after the insurrection of Fort Sumter, going against everything that our forefathers of this nation stood for(Which is preserving the nation). Abraham Lincoln was a intelligent, respectable man that married a slave owning family - he didn't even "proclaim" an end to slavery until 2 years into the war, and at that, it only applied to the CSA(which he never did before). But...history is written by the winners(which certainly aren't the Southerners, who swallow balls), and the North did win their campaign against the South.

Answer 2

Lincoln supported anti-slavery, which were the views of the North, while the Southerns were pro-slavery. They did not like Lincoln due to the fact that they did not want him to end slavery. Many people on the south had cotton farms and wanted slaves to work for them.

Answer 3

Well, think Civil War. Abraham Lincoln tried to remove slavery (in which he succeeded). The southerner states had all of the cotton fields, they had "too much" work to do by themselves so they bought slaves to do it. So once it became announced that slavery was being illegalized, the southerners were angry because their farms would go out of business without so many people helping. Hope I helped.

Answer 6
