Lincoln won for the Republicans on a ticket of no new slave-states. This meant that the South would always be outvoted in Congress, which would tend to pass laws that favoured the North.

South Carolina immediately secdeded from the USA, and six other states had done the saqme by the time of Lincoln's inaugration in March.

Lincoln won his re-election and emancipated the slaves. His opposition wanted to sue for peace at all costs. If Lincoln didn't win the election the US might be 2 independant countries now, and slavery might have remained legal for much longer.
