The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was a pivotal event that convinced many Southern state leaders to join the Confederacy. They viewed his anti-slavery stance and commitment to preserving the Union as threats to their way of life and economic interests, particularly regarding slavery. As a result, several Southern states seceded from the Union, ultimately leading to the formation of the Confederate States of America. This collective response was driven by fears of losing political power and the perceived encroachment on states' rights.
