They wanted too not mess with slavery, but also wanted to ban it in territories. The Southeners were scared because if the North won it might trigger slave strikes.
With the Democrats divided, Lincoln won. Lincoln's name wasnt even shown in many Southern states. He won every Northern state, however.

They wondered, too, what would happen in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Delaware, Maryland, and Arkansas. These slave states had not yet seceded, but their decisions were not final. If the United States used force against the Confederates, the remaining slave states also might secede.]]> 2019-04-23 14:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/440642/3a28lthgi5d4/wish/353397534 440642 https://padlet.com/440642/3a28lthgi5d4/wish/353398422 In his Inaugural speech, Lincoln spoke to the seceding states directly.
