The northern states said no, but they didn’t need slaves to run their factories The southern states needed slaves to run their plantations

The southern states didn’t like Lincoln After the election, South Carolina seceded from the Union (December 20, 1860) Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas followed. They made their own constitution and elected their own president, Jefferson Davis. Then Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia joined what was now named the Confederacy
