An immediate result of Lincoln's election in 1860 was that Southern states started to secede from the Union.
After Abe Lincoln won the election of 1860, many Southern states worried that this would put the institution of slavery in danger of being made illegal. These fears resulted in several different Southern states seceding. The first one to secede was South Carolina, roughly one month after the election of Lincoln. Within a couple months, six other Southern states would follow.
Answer:
One immediate result of Lincoln's election in 1860 was that the seven slave states of the south declared cessation to the Union and formed the Confederate States of America.
Explanation:
With almost no support from the South of the country, Lincoln ran the North and was elected president. His election made seven slave states of the south declare assignment to the Union and form the Confederate States of America. The break with the Southerners made the Lincoln party gain extensive control of Congress, but no action or reconciliation was made.
