Abraham Lincoln |

|
||||||
| Abraham Lincoln was an outspoken opponent of slavery who became the Republican Party's nominee for president of the United States in 1860. Soon after Lincoln's election as president, seven Southern states seceded from the Union because they feared that Lincoln would abolish slavery. Four more states had followed by the time Lincoln delivered his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861. | ||||||
