Concept note-1: -Answer and Explanation: The South feared the election of Abraham Lincoln because he advocated for the abolition of slavery. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican to win the presidency and he, along with the Republicans, had a platform of the abolition of slavery.
Concept note-2: -Lincoln began his public career by claiming that he was “antislavery”–against slavery’s expansion, but not calling for immediate emancipation. However, the man who began as “antislavery” eventually issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in those states that were in rebellion.
