Best Answer

Many southerners believe that the the south no longer had a voice in national government. Also that the President and Congress were now set against their interests, especially slavery. Even before the election, South Carolina's governor had written to other southern governors. If Lincoln won, he wrote, it would be their duty to leave the Union.
