How did southern states react to the election of abraham lincoln in 1860

In general, southerners didn't like Lincoln long before the 1860 election. As a member of the Free Soil Party(Before it later became a republican party) Lincoln argued against expanding slavery into any of the new territories.
Thats why in 1860, Lincoln's name did not appear on the ballot in ten southern states.

The correct answer would be : a system of classes that were organized like a pyramidi hope that this you !
