Why did Lincoln’s election trigger the secession of the Southern states?

PLEASE HELP!!!

The Southern states were already pretty angry, but when Lincon got elected, they exploded. Southerners were feeling the threat of Lincoln and believed that he would put an end on slavery and its expansion. The North was gaining more power, and the slave states had deteriorated in their influence and presence in the House of Representatives. The South Feared that the North had more power over them and that the North would be able to essentially boss them around. Lincon's Election only made this paranoia worse.

explanation:

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
