How did the lower south upper south and border states respond to Lincoln's election and the attack on fort Sumter?
Following Lincoln's election in 1860, the Lower South, feeling threatened by his anti-slavery stance, quickly seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate States of America. The Upper South initially hesitated, but after the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, they also joined the Confederacy, aligning themselves with the Lower South. In contrast, the Border States, which were slave states that remained in the Union, were more divided and largely resisted secession, although they faced significant internal conflict over their loyalties. Overall, Lincoln's election and the Fort Sumter attack intensified regional divisions and accelerated the onset of the Civil War.
