Lincoln's election in 1860 was perceived by many Southern states as a direct threat to the institution of slavery and their way of life. His platform opposing the expansion of slavery into new territories galvanized fears that the federal government would increasingly limit their rights and autonomy. In response, several Southern states seceded from the Union, believing that their interests were no longer represented in a government led by a Republican president. This secession ultimately set the stage for the Civil War.

How did mississippians react to the election of president Abraham Lincoln in1860?
The majority of southerners, including those in Mississippi, were concerned that the new president might try to end slavery. He had already expressed his belief that slavery was morally and ethically wrong and that it needed to end; as a result, most Mississippians were concerned that once he assumed the office of the presidency, he might take dramatic action to make owning slaves illegal. It should be noted that while Lincoln had said in speeches that he was opposed to slavery, he had not yet proposed any policies nor criticized southerners. So, everyone was taking a wait-and-see attitude when he was elected.
